Parliament will sit on a Saturday for only the fifth time since WWII after Boris Johnson returns from a crucial Brexit summit, it has been reported.
The Government will call MPs to sit on Saturday, October 19 - the day after the crunch Brussels meeting that will decide whether an agreement can be reached.
The Commons will sit whether Boris Johnson returns from the continent with or without a deal.
MPs will be asked to approve any deal he brings back from Brussels.
But if he comes back empty handed, they will be expected to vote on the next steps - which could include revoking Article 50 or a second referendum.
The Houses of Parliament have only sat on a Saturday on four occasions since 1939.
MPs debated the outbreak of World War II in 1939. A Saturday sitting took place to discuss summer adjournment debates in July 1949.
On 3 November 1956 MPs sat to debate the Suez Crises.
And the most recent weekend session was to discuss the invasion of the Falkland Islands in 1982.
