More Information Please: prorogation edition

So what was the government's ostensible/official reason for proroguing? I know that conventional wisdom is that they want to avoid an inquiry into the Afghan detainee scandal. But don't they have to give a plausible-sounding nominal reason before proroguing with legislation still on the order paper?

I think it's because they want to focus on the economy.

It makes absolutely no sense. Not even the pretense of sense.

I'd rather like a government that can govern and focus on the economy at the same time please.
