Scottish secretary Alister Jack has refused to say whether he backed Liz Truss in the Conservative leadership election.
The MP for Dumfries and Galloway said he had an agreement with leader of the Scottish Tory party Douglas Ross that they would "not declare" who they voted for to replace Boris Johnson.
Speaking on the BBC's Nine, he said: "At the end of it, the Scottish conservatives would 100% back, whoever was prime minister, and we agreed not to declare our hand, either before, during or after, and to get right behind the Prime Minister and that's where we are and I'm very pleased that we're in that position."
