It comes as the six senior Tories, who secured the support of 10 MPs in order to enter the leadership race, are battling it out to replace Rishi Sunak as the Conservative Party seeks to rebuild after its worst-ever general election result last month.
MPs will vote off two of the contenders so the final four go to the party's conference in Birmingham next month to make their leadership pitch.
Conservative MPs will then eliminate two more, with the final pair going to a ballot of Tory members with the winner announced on November 2.
