“My Lords, it not being convenient for Her Majesty personally to be present here this day, she has been pleased to cause a Commission under the Great Seal to be prepared for proroguing this present Parliament.”
Those are the words this country urgently needs to hear uttered by Baroness Evans of Bowes Park, Leader of the House of Lords, announcing the temporary suspension of the present Parliament which has lost the confidence of the British people. The proposal that Parliament should be prorogued until after Brexit has come into effect on 29 March has been advanced by Andrew Roberts, the eminent historian.
