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 National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
