Effectively? The PM can ask for the suspension of Parliament at any time. Traditionally, this is done once the "business of government" is complete, allowing them their long breaks time with their constituents.
Even in abnormal circumstances, like the current ones, the PM can ask. but he's supposed to have an actual reason. Parliament shouldn't be prorogued for flippant reasons.
