The government has rushed out 21 written statements on the final day of the parliamentary term, in what has been dubbed "taking out the trash" day for Whitehall departments.
Public sector pay rises for doctors, teachers and armed forces personnel were unveiled, with updates on Crossrail, defence, and local government finance.
Brexit also dominated the agenda as Theresa May confirmed that she was taking overall control of the EU negotiations, effectively demoting the Brexit secretary Dominic Raab.
Britain's de-facto Brexit chief negotiator Olly Robbins also made a rare appearance before MPs, where he faced a grilling from Eurosceptic MPs who believe he has softened the UK's negotiating stance.

Fracking at a site in Lancashire has been given the final go-ahead by the government.
Shale company Cuadrilla has been granted permission to undertake the controversial process at the site at Preston New Road, subject to certain conditions being met.
Energy minister Claire Perry said the company had met all the necessary environmental and health and safety measures in order to give it the go-ahead.
But certain conditions had to be met, including supplying the Business and Energy Department with the latest accounts for co-investor Spirit Energy, or a deposit in support of any potential liabilities for decommissioning costs.
Opponents fear it can cause earthquakes, pollute water, lead to damaging development in the countryside and hit house prices, and is not compatible with targets to cut fossil fuel use to tackle climate change.
The prominent Remain campaigner's proposal was defeated by 130 votes to nine, majority 121.
The scheme's budget has been increased from £14.8bn to £15.4bn, rail minister Jo Johnson said.
He said "cost pressures have increased across the project" but the Department for Transport (DfT) and Transport for London (TfL) "remain committed to the successful delivery" of the new east-west railway.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling sparked anger in July last year by supporting a new £30bn Crossrail 2 scheme in London and the South East days after a series of rail electrification projects in Wales, the Midlands and the North were axed or downgraded.
The DfT and TfL are each providing £150m of additional funding to Crossrail Limited, while an extra £290m for the completion of work on the national rail network is being paid for by the DfT and government-owned Network Rail.
Mr Johnson wrote: "It remains the case that over 60% of the project's funding has been provided by Londoners and London businesses."
He stated that Crossrail is 93% complete and is entering "the critical testing and commissioning stage".
The railway is known as Crossrail during the construction phase but will become the Elizabeth Line once services begin.
Trains will operate on three routes from December: Paddington to Abbey Wood, Paddington to Heathrow and Liverpool Street to Shenfield.
The line will fully open in December 2019, with trains running from Reading and Heathrow in the west through 13 miles (21km) of new tunnels to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east.
He told the Brexit committee: "This is not a point of departure, we are far too late down the track for this, this is a serious, substantive offer and we would expect it to be taken that way.
"If you look at the way it was received by the EU, there were questions but it certainly wasn't dismissed out of hand."
Mr Paisley (North Antrim) was not present in the chamber for the debate.
Speaker John Bercow says he will write to the electoral officer, saying Mr Paisley has met one of the conditions for recall - which would force a by-election if 10% of constituents sign a petition.
Robbins says this is not true. He prepared papers ahead of the Chequers meeting where the white paper was finalised, as is the usual way.
