'Hybrid' parliament breaks 700 years of tradition
MPs set to approve plans for virtual sittings, with numbers in the chamber limited to 50.
The House of Commons has been trying out its new working arrangements in preparation for MPs' return later. Screens have been installed in the chamber to allow MPs to speak remotely while the limited number attending in person will be signposted where to sit. The new practices will initially operate until 12 May although could remain in place for longer.
