Today has brought back the familiar sight of green benches as MPs return to the Commons for the first time since the election.

This morning Boris Johnson chaired his first cabinet meeting since the country went to the polls, and this afternoon he addressed the Commons - you can read what he said here. The remainder of the day has been spent swearing in MPs one-by-one, in a lengthy process that will run well into tomorrow.

All that, and we're still not even halfway through Parliament's first week back. Here's what's left to come:

Wednesday There'll be more swearing in. To recap, MPs are required to take an oath of allegiance to the Crown, or, if they object to this, a solemn affirmation. Two to three days are usually set aside for this. (Those who speak or vote without having done so are deprived of their seat "as if they were dead" under the Parliamentary Oaths Act of 1866.)

Thursday The state opening of Parliament. The Queen's Speech is the centrepiece of this, when she will read a speech written by ministers setting out the government's programme of legislation for the parliamentary session. A couple of hours after the speech is delivered, MPs will begin debating its contents - a process which usually takes days.

Friday Depending on how rapidly Boris Johnson wants to move, the debate on the Queen's Speech could continue into Friday. The government will introduce the Withdrawal Agreement Bill to Parliament.

MPs in the previous Parliament backed Mr Johnson's bill at its first stage but rejected his plan to fast-track the legislation through Parliament in three days.

After the debate on the Queen's Speech is concluded, MPs will vote on whether to approve it. Not since 1924 has a Queen's Speech been defeated.

Thanks for joining us, see you again tomorrow.
