    Dominic Raab will face Sir Keir Starmer at PMQs

    Business has already begun with questions to the Welsh Secretary Simon Hart.

    But the headline events are still to come...

    At 12:00 BST (11:00 GMT), the first Prime Minister's Questions since recess will take place.

    Boris Johnson is still recovering from coronavirus, so Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is continuing to deputise for him with a visit to the dispatch box.

    He will face Sir Keir Starmer, as Labour's new leader makes his debut at PMQs.

    The questions are expected to last for around 45 minutes - slightly longer than Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle normally allows.

    This will then be followed by an update on the coronavirus outbreak from Health Secretary Matt Hancock.

    And keep an eye out for a question to him from former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as he returns to the backbenches.
