The lower house of the Czech Parliament is due to debate a Defence Cooperation Agreement with the United States at a session that begins on Tuesday afternoon. The two countries’ defence ministers signed the treaty, which creates a framework for closer cooperation, last month, but it still needs to be ratified.

In the session beginning Tuesday MPs are also expected to discuss a marriage equality bill, as well as a move to enshrine marriage as between a man and a woman, and a commission to investigate alleged wrongdoing at the Office of the President under ex-head of state Miloš Zeman.
