The Royal Commission, acting on behalf of the Queen, will take their seats in the Lords and despatch Black Rod to summon the Commons.

Once the Commons arrive, the Commission will give the Queen’s approval to the appointment of the Speaker.

In turn, the Speaker will request that the traditional rights and privileges of the Commons be confirmed.

MPs will then return to the Commons, there’ll be an update from the Speaker, and he will then be the first MP to swear in, or, more formally “take the oath of allegiance”.

There are 643 MPs to swear in, with the seven Sinn Fein MPs not taking their seats.

The main Northern Ireland parties are all expected to meet the Prime Minister in Downing Street tomorrow.

Sinn Fein the Ulster Unionists, Alliance and the SDLP will hold separate meetings with Theresa May in the afternoon.

Mrs May has already held talks with the DUP this week about a deal to support a minority Conservative government although no agreement is expected to be announced today.

Ahead of her meeting in London Sinn Fein's leader at Stormont Michelle O'Neill said a DUP-Tory deal would not be allowed to undermine the peace process.

The MLA, who will also meet the new Taoiseach Leo Varadker in Dublin on Friday said it was imperative that both governments recommit to the word, spirit and implementation of the Good Friday Agreement if there is to be any prospect of re-establishing the Executive.

It is understood the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn wants a government statement in Parliament tomorrow on the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

Parliament is not currently sitting so no statement would normally be made.

However Mr Corbyn wants a Cabinet Office minister to appear before MPs in a Commons committee room to answer questions about the tragedy.

Mr Corbyn is also asking representatives of the emergency services and local authority and others to attend.

The idea of hard Brexit seems to have faded after the British general election but the clock is ticking and the UK and the EU need to start negotiating, says Alexander de Croo, the Deputy Prime Minister of Belgium.

He told Stephen Sackur: "No one in Brussels is waiting to punish the UK government and the UK citizens.

"The UK citizens have punished themselves already enough with political instability, with a disunited kingdom and with a falling Sterling."

He said the UK and EU needed first to discuss the principles of the divorce before talking of remarriage through a kind of working relationship.

The modern - elected - Commons committee system has become a political powerhouse, certainly in comparison to its tepid predecessors.

In the last Parliament, the Work and Pensions and Business Committees held spectacular hearings on the plight of the pensioners of the collapsed British Home Stores chain; the Foreign Affairs Committee had to be courted by David Cameron as he sought to ensure he got a Commons majority for military intervention in Syria; the Brexit Committee caused considerable ripples with its report on the status of EU nationals resident in the UK; the Health Committee pushed for a new tax on sugary drinks, and a pincer movement involving Health, Communities and the Public Accounts Committees highlighted the issue of NHS funding.

So how will the system fare in the new Parliament of 2017?

It will be a while - until October - before we find out.

The Green Party is calling for proportional representation, saying that under such a system, they would have 11 MPs and compare their one MP from 524,000 votes with the 10 DUP MPs gained with 292,000 votes.

Jonathan Bartley, Green Party co-leader, said: “The evidence is clear that last week many felt they had to vote tactically, rather than feeling free to vote for the party they actually believe in.

“A fair system would ensure politics looks like the people it represents. The Green Party will keep fighting for a fairer, more democratic voting system that accurately represents what the country wants.”

Kensington's newly-elected Labour MP has said the Grenfell Tower fire in her constituency that has left at least six people dead has "devastated our community".

Emma Dent Coad said she had visited several support centres set up for those affected by the blaze at the 24-storey block and would continue to do so throughout the day.

The World Tonight

The mood of Labour MPs is now "let's move forward to achieve government," says Labour peer Dame Margaret Beckett, speaking on The World Tonight.

But a year ago, following mass resignations from the frontbench by those who had little confidence in the Labour leader, many thought the party was close to splitting.

At the time, Dame Margaret was interviewed on Radio 4's Today programme where she expressed her despair..

The World Tonight

Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan has called for a hard bargaining approach to Brexit talks as if "buying a car or house".

The UK general election result has led some to say Theresa May did not secure the clear mandate for a "hard" Brexit.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's World Tonight, Mr Hannan said: "I have never met a single voter [in the referendum] who thought they were voting for a soft Brexit."

Theresa May "is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life" in the Grenfell Tower tragedy - and has asked for a cross-government meeting to co-ordinate the response, a Downing Street spokesman has said.

The prime minister "is being kept constantly updated on the situation", he said.

Tim Farron has unveiled plans to launch a deputy leadership contest. The parliamentary party increased its numbers from nine MPs to 12 - including four women - following last week's general election.

Mr Farron says it's now time to revive the role "as it gives the party another powerful voice and has helped give prominence" to notable Lib Dems, including Lord (Menzies) Campbell, Simon Hughes and Vince Cable.

The position will be elected by Liberal Democrat MPs and will be announced before the end of the month.

Nominations opened on Monday and all MPs are eligible for the position.

The deadline for applications is 17:00 BST on Tuesday, 20 June. If there is only one candidate they will be formally appointed to the position on Tuesday, 20 June.

If there are two or more candidates, then a hustings will take place at the parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday, 27 June.

Tower blocks across the UK need to be re-examined in the wake of the Grenfell Tower block tragedy, former London mayor Ken Livingstone has said.

Materials used in construction also need to be more rigorously checked, he said.

Mr Livingstone BBC Radio 5 live's Emma Barnett there was also a need for a reassessment of the advice given to residents in case of a fire.

"Being told 'stay in the building and you'll be rescued' - I'm not certain that's a good idea at all," he said.

"I think you need to ensure that if possible people get out. Go down stairs that are insulated from smoke and so on. So I think we need a complete re-assessment of this."

The World Tonight

The Labour leader was greeted with cheers and a standing ovation at the first meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party since the general election.

Addressing the Labour MPs, Jeremy Corbyn told them they must think and act like a government in waiting - ready to take over in case the Conservative deal with the DUP collapsed.

Mr Corbyn's election performance defied expectations, even within his own party.

Clive Efford, who was re-elected the MP for Eltham in south London, was a former shadow frontbencher, who quit last year amid concerns over whether Labour was "fit to win a general election and take power".

He told the Radio 4's World Tonight that the party was now "united" and "one Labour Party" and it was now up to Mr Corbyn to make the best use of the party's most talented members.

According to the website, Politics Home, external, a Labour frontbencher has claimed Britain would have to accept “some element” of free movement in order to retain “impediment-free” access to the single market after Brexit.

Rebecca Long-Bailey also said it was ultimately a "moot point" as to whether the UK remains a partial member of the single market after quitting the European Union.

Labour’s manifesto said that freedom of movement would come to an end after Brexit, but there has been fresh confusion over the party's stance since the election result last week.

John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn both signalled that Labour would not rethink its view on single market membership, but fellow frontbencher Barry Gardiner indicated the party could review its position.

Ministers are doing "diddly squat" to help the "just about managing" - the group in society Theresa May has said she is dedicated to aiding, Lib Dem leader Tim Farron has claimed.

He spoke out as the Office for National Statistics released figures that suggest that as inflation rises, the amount of money workers are taking home continues to fall.

Average wages grew by just 2.1% in the three months to April, well below the 2.7% rate of inflation in that month, according to the ONS. That means after adjusting for inflation, wages fell by 0.6%.

Commenting on the news, Mr Farron said:
