Johnson explains decision to suspend UK Parl't

None

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has written to lawmakers explaining his decision to ask Queen Elizabeth II to suspend Parliament

 

In a letter released Wednesday, Johnson says that he "spoke to Her Majesty The Queen to request an end to the current parliamentary session."

 

The move will squeeze lawmakers who want to bring forward new legislation to block a no-deal Brexit ahead of the October 31 departure.
