MPs will get an extra month away from the Commons this year compared to 2019 as the timetable reveals more recess days.

Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg unveiled a timetable with 63 recess weekdays between now and September, an increase from 43 in the same time period in 2019.

MPs will get more than three weeks away for party conference season in September too.

Christmas recess has yet to be announced.

The extra non-sitting days are about a month's extra time away from Westminster. The summer break will be seven weeks, or 34 working days, seven days longer than last year.


MPs will insist they will work on constituency matters when they are in recess.

A Downing Street spokesman said: "Parliamentary recess dates are a matter for the House and these dates are in line with recess patterns from previous years."

The spokesman added: "The Government set out its ambitious legislative agenda in the Queen's Speech in December. Since then we have already worked at pace to introduce 10 bills that deliver on the people's priorities."
