Boris Johnson has promised MPs a "direct line" to No 10 as pressure on his leadership continues to mount.
On Friday the Prime Minister wrote to them insisting he was committed to change after five of his advisors resigned within 24 hours.
The number of rebels publicly demanding a vote of no confidence grew when Tory MP Aaron Bell submitted his letter to the chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee.
Mr Johnson's letter says he is "committed to improving the way 10 Downing Street, and Government more broadly works", promising further updates in the coming days.
He will work with Sir Graham Brady, the 1922 chair, and his colleagues to re-establish backbench policy committees.
"I want these policy committees to play an important role in generating ideas and discussion and so I encourage colleagues from across the party to get involved,” Mr Johnson wrote.
"I understand the deep importance of engaging with colleagues in Parliament and listening to your views and that is why I want colleagues to have a direct line into 10 Downing Street."
He said Andrew Griffith, the MP who is taking over as director of policy after the resignation of Mr Johnson’s long-time adviser Munira Mirza, will provide "whatever engagement and support is necessary to make this a success".
