Prorogation in Parliament

In relation to the Parliament of the United Kingdom , the prorogation (lat. And en: postponement ) means the termination of the current session. Transactions that were not concluded in the current session expire - unless they are so-called public bills .

The prorogation (also: parliament adjournment or suspension) is one of the traditional rights of a British Prime Minister and is usually initiated by British governments once a year (usually in April or May). It acquired a special and controversial significance in the course of the Brexit negotiations, as the incumbent Prime Minister Boris Johnson had it implemented one and a half months before the exit date on October 31, 2019, before the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom ruled this step unlawful.

Proogation is also possible in the National Assembly in Lesotho and has been used several times by Prime Minister Thomas Thabane .
