THERE are no plans for the Prime Minister to travel to Scotland on Thursday or Friday, Downing Street has said.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman also said he could not give any updates on the Queen’s health or whether Liz Truss has been in touch with Buckingham Palace.
“The Prime Minister is working from Downing Street this afternoon in a series of meetings,” he said.
“As is standard, I wouldn’t get into any contact certainly between the Prime Minister and the Palace.”
Asked if there were any plans for the PM to travel to Scotland on Thursday or Friday, he said: “No.”
Downing Street also said it is not aware of any changes to business in the House of Commons on Friday.
The confirmation came after a crowd gathered outside Buckingham Palace beneath dark clouds as news spread that the Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral.
More than 100 umbrella-clad observers have congregated on the stone steps up to The Queen Victoria Memorial, opposite the royal residence, and dozens more are standing beside the gates.
Storm clouds are looming overhead, with a smattering of rain over central London.
