PM can still be held to account during prorogation - Lord Keenpublished at 14:27 British Summer Time 19 September 2019
Lord Keen says proroguing Parliament doesn't prevent the government and prime minister being held to account.
“It’s a fact that for a period prorogation will affect accountability in Parliament but it doesn’t prevent accountability beyond Parliament," he says.
He argues the prime minister can still be held to account by the public and the media and in upcoming party conferences.
