Boris to recall Parliament if Supreme Court demands MPs return to Commons vows lawyer
BORIS JOHNSON will ask the Queen to recall MPs to Westminster if judges rule his decision to suspend Parliament was illegal, the Supreme Court heard yesterday. Lord Keen QC, a lawyer representing the Government at a landmark court case, insisted the Prime Minister will “take the necessary steps” to comply with the law.

Lord Keen made his remark during the first day of the Supreme Court hearing of two claims from pro-Brussels campaigners that the Prime Minister broke the law by using the “prorogation” procedure to lengthen Parliament’s traditional break for the conference season.
