Parliament adjourned at 9pm instead of 9.30pm this evening because no Labour MP was present to speak during the adjournment.

The adjournment alternates between the government and the opposition and today was the government's turn. 

The Speaker repeatedly asked whether there were comments, but since no one was on the government benches, the House adjourned without comment.
