Boris Johnson to 'see what judges say' on recalling Parliament

Boris Johnson has said he will "wait and see what the judges say" before deciding whether to recall Parliament.The Supreme Court will hear two appeals that will determine whether the prime minister acted lawfully in suspending Parliament for five weeks.It will give the final ruling after Edinburgh's Court of Session said the shutdown was illegal and London's High Court said it was not a court matter.Mr Johnson said he had the "greatest respect for the judiciary".
The suspension of Parliament, a process known as proroguing, began a week ago.MPs are not scheduled to return until 14 October, when there will be a Queen's Speech outlining Mr Johnson's legislative plans. The UK is due to leave the EU on 31 October.
