Boris Johnson will not be appearing at PMQs today (Wednesday, June 29) and will be replaced by Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab.
The Prime Minister is unable to attend due to his presence at the ongoing NATO summit in Madrid, Spain.
Johnson is there urging fellow nations to continue their support of Ukraine throughout the Russian invasion.
He wrote on Twitter: “At this @NATO Leaders’ Summit, I’ll be urging fellow nations to continue to do everything they can to support Ukraine.
“The UK has always played a historic role in the @NATO alliance, working to address the biggest global threats and build a more secure world.”

The UK has always played a historic role in the @NATO alliance, working to address the biggest global threats and build a more secure world.
The NATO Summit was kicked off with the news that Turkey has backed both Sweden and Finland’s bid to join the alliance, lifting previous objections.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted Sweden and Finland to abandon their long-held non-aligned status and apply to join the security body.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
