Brexit: Parliament suspension to go ahead later
The five-week suspension of Parliament will begin later, after MPs are expected to again reject government calls for a snap election.
Opposition MPs confirmed they would not back the push for a 15 October poll, insisting a law blocking a no-deal Brexit must be implemented first.
Ministers have said they will "test" what the law - expected to get final approval on Monday - requires of them.
Boris Johnson has been warned he could face legal action for flouting it.
The government has described the law - which would force the PM to seek a Brexit delay if MPs have not approved a new deal, or no deal, by 19 October - as "lousy".
