Bercow says the citizens of the UK are entitled to expect that parliament performs its function.

He says he has instructed his officials to prepare for the resumption of the work of the Commons. It is not a recall of parliament, he says, because parliament was not properly prorogued.

He says he wants it to sit tomorrow at 11.30am.

He has contacted party leaders, or senior representatives of parties where that is not possible, he says.
