The Conservative party is embroiled in a party dispute on how to conduct the next leadership debate, and what the timeline should be.
There will be no further decision on the timetable for the leadership contest until at least next week, when the 1922 committee of backbench Tory MPs will meet again.
Some within the party would like the contest to be wrapped up in time for an announcement at party conference this September, while others are understood to want a longer timeframe.
