British Health Minister Matt Hancock (pictured), one of the candidates to replace prime minister Theresa May as prime minister, said he would not allow parliament to be suspended to allow Brexit to occur on 31 October as other leadership hopefuls have suggested, writes Elizabeth Piper.

He told an audience at his campaign launch to become leader of the Conservative Party that suspending parliament went against all that people had fought for in World War Two.

“I will not have it,” he said, adding that if the Conservatives became the Brexit party then it was finished.
