Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said he was "certain" MPs will return after the Easter recess to review whether Parliament should re-open during the coronavirus pandemic.
He told BBC Breakfast: "Once that’s happened (the passing of the Coronavirus Bill) then it may be a sensible thing to close Parliament down for the recess and then review that at the end of the recess after Easter.
"Most of us, I think, do want Parliament to continue.
"We live in a democracy, it’s essential there’s scrutiny of the steps that the Government is taking.
"But obviously Parliament has to lead by example, follow the guidelines wherever it can, and ensure that we protect the staff that work in Parliament as well."
Mr Jenrick said he was unaware whether Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg will call for a fixed return date.
But he added: "I’m certain that Parliament will return after the Easter holidays.
"I think it’s really important, however deep and serious this crisis, is that Parliament in some form continues to operate because you as citizens want to ensure your MPs are holding the Government to account."
