    Over in the House of Lords, peers debate a Labour-led motion calling for a joint committee of Lords and Commons be appointed to report, by 30 September, on the costs and implications for the UK of exiting the EU without a withdrawal agreement on 31 October 2019.

    BBC parliamentary correspondent Mark D’Arcy says that “given the overwhelmingly pro-EU composition of the Lords, this will probably be approved, but it would also need the backing of the Commons, and it may not even be discussed there.”

    Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the Houses of Parliament.

    Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn face each other at PMQs – not many of these encounters left as Theresa May enters her final month as prime minister.

    There are two government statements. One from the PM on the G20 summit and the EU, and one from International Development Secretary Rory Stewart on the Islamic State group.

    Lib Dem Alistair Carmichael introduces his bill on plastic pollution. There will then be debates on income tax, dangerous drugs and whistleblowing.

    MPs start, however, with questions to the Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley and her ministerial team.

    Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of Parliament.

    In the House of Commons, MPs put questions to the Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd; then Health Secretary Matt Hancock will make a statement on a long-term plan for the NHS.

    The bulk of the day will be taken up with an estimates day debate - a motion authorising expenditure for various government departments.

    The House of Lords, meanwhile, will be debating a report on regenerating seaside towns.
