The UK government has been accused of "running away" from potentially damaging votes on Brexit and the domestic agenda, leaving parliament at its least active for 20 years. The Public Whip website revealed there have been 127 Commons votes since the last General Election nine months ago, a third fewer than at the start of the 2010 parliament. A spokesman said: "The Government is committed to delivering an ambitious programme that will deliver economic growth with high quality jobs in Britain - including securing our place as one of the world's leading financial centres."

However, key pieces of legislation including the EU withdrawal bill, and issues such as scrapping free school meals for infants, are set to make their way back to the parliamentary agenda.
