House of Commons
19 September 2019
This bill would create a formal process for carrying out the Prime Minister’s duties if the Prime Minister becomes incapacitated or temporarily unable to act. It would designate someone who can step in for a limited period, set out how that person is chosen and what powers they can exercise, and explain how the arrangement ends. The aim is to ensure government continues smoothly without a leadership vacuum during incapacitation.
