Brexit is off the UK parliament agenda this week

A week without Brexit, the humanity

Telegraph deputy political editor Steven Swinford reports that Brexit is officially dead for this week at least. It's been taken off the agenda for tomorrow and replaced by Northern Irish business.

That will add a bit more focus on the May 2 BOE decision and some other odds and ends on the economic calendar like GfK consumer confidence, Nationwide house prices, and the UK Markit PMI earlier in the week.
