Burnham and two other new MPs to be sworn in shortly in Commons published
We’re expecting a swearing in ceremony for new MPs to take place at around 14:30 BST in the House of Commons, which you will be able to watch at the top of the page.
Andy Burnham, the new MP for Makerfield, will be among the three MPs sworn in today, alongside Douglas Lumsden, who won a by-election in Aberdeen South, and Lara Bird – who held Arbroath and Broughty Ferry for the SNP.
New members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords take an oath of allegiance to the Crown before taking their seats in Parliament.
MPs either swear in using a religious text or take a non-religious, solemn affirmation.
