London, Sep 10 (TIWN) UK Parliament has officially been suspended for five weeks, with MPs not due back till October 14 following Prime Minister Boris Johnson's second failed attempt to call a snap election in October.

Amid unprecedented scenes in the Commons, some MPs protested against the suspension with signs saying "silenced" while shouting: "Shame on you."  It comes after PM Boris Johnson's bid to call a snap election in October was defeated for a second time.  Opposition MPs refused to back it, insisting a law blocking a no-deal Brexit must be implemented first.  In all, 293 MPs voted for the prime minister's motion for an early election, far short of the two thirds needed.
