Tory leadership candidate Dominic Raab has suggested he would be prepared to shut down Parliament to ensure the UK leaves the EU on 31 October.
But the suggestion of using the process - known as prorogation - has led to criticism from many MPs.
The SNP's Pete Wishart called the proposal a "subversion of democracy".
The current session has been going for almost two years - since the 2017 election - as it was extended to tackle the legislation for Brexit.
Shadow leader of the House, Valerie Vaz, told the Commons it was the longest session in Parliament since the 1800 Acts of Union.
