The House of Commons has been adjourned after a water leak in the chamber.
MPs in Westminster were discussing the introduction of a loan charge when the issue became apparent.
In the video feed from the chamber, a dripping sound could clearly be heard when MPs weren't speaking.
The sitting was initially suspended, before being adjourned completely for the rest of the day.

Leak alert! A lot of water is flowing into the chamber of the Commons from above. Think it is coming in from the press gallery appropriately

In a statement, the House of Commons press office said: "The leak was urgently dealt with and has now been isolated.
"The House of Commons maintenance team is currently assessing the damage."
It also clarified that the incident "was not a sewage leak".
SNP MP Deidre Brock suggested that Brexit metaphors were 'three for a pound' following the water leak:
It's raining indoors in the House of Commons today. #Brexit metaphors, three for a pound ...

MPs are due to return to the Commons on Monday.
The leak comes as Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn continue their efforts to find a compromise and break the Brexit deadlock.
