As we speak, there are no Emergency Expenditures ahead of Parliament, all COVID-19 Payments have been duly authorised and and so we can manage to suspend Parliament for two months without any really serious ramifications, all other Parliamentary responsibilities can be done pretty much.
We have to do this quickly to avert cross infections in Parliament and also to stop onward Community Transmission at the numerous Constituencies wherever the MPs go to virtually every weekend.
But most importantly to avert pointless monetary stress on the Condition by means of pointless by-elections if any MP loses their life to COVID-19.
