Clwyd South Labour MP Susan
Elan Jones (pictured) has signed a letter calling on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to
recall Parliament.
“We
face a national emergency,” she said.
“We now know the
Government in its own documentation is admitting a no-deal Brexit would cause
food, fuel and medicine shortages but Boris Johnson is doing everything he can
to avoid being questioned by MPs.
"Parliament should always be recalled at times
of national significance, indeed in the past it’s even been recalled to pay
tributes to a deceased Prime Minister. If Boris Johnson is a democrat, he has
nothing to fear in coming to Parliament. He should not hide away.”
More
than 100 MPs, representing all parties except the Democratic Unionist Party,
have signed the letter to the Prime Minister.
The letter also calls for
Parliament to be in session until October 31 - the day earmarked for Brexit - with no autumn recess.
