UK: Tories say new PM in place by 20th July

LONDON: Britain’s governing Conservatives said Friday that Theresa May’s successor as party leader and the prime minister was expected to be in place by parliament’s summer recess – set for 20th July.
In a statement, the center-right party’s chairman Brandon Lewis said nominations among MPs would close in the week beginning 10th June, before party members choose between the top two candidates in time for the result to be announced before parliament rises for the summer.
