Coronavirus: George Osborne calls for recovering Boris Johnson to be replaced by 'acting PM'
Reading now: 454
George Osborne says Britain needs a formal “acting Prime Minister” if Boris Johnson is going to be recovering from coronavirus for an extended period of time.
The former Chancellor, now editor of the London Evening Standard, said a formal stand-in taking over all of Mr Johnson’s decision-making would avoid a power vacuum at the top of government.
Currently First Secretary of State Dominic Raab is deputising for the Prime Minister while he recovers at his country retreat of Chequers.
Number 10 insist Mr Raab has the authority to take decisions while Mr Johnson is incapacitated. But Mr Osborne said that was not enough, and it should be made into a formal position.
