Calls grow for House of Commons to delay summer break so that MPs can grill new Prime Minister Andy Burnham – as it emerges that House of Lords is still sitting next week

The push comes after it emerged that the House of Lords is still due to sit next week, prompting criticism that the Commons would otherwise avoid scrutiny of the new premiership during a politically significant transition.
