Starmer says
new PM to take over mid July if Burnham unopposed, or by end of August if
there's election
Starmer sets
out the timetable for his departure.
I will
ask the national executive committee of the Labour party to set out a
timetable, with nominations opening on the 9th of July and completed by the
summer recess.
In the
case of a contest, this will ensure a new leader is in place before parliament
returns in September.
I will
remain in post as prime minister until the contest is complete, and I will do
everything I can to ensure an orderly handover of power.
The
Commons summer recess is due to start on 16 July and so, if Andy Burnham is
unopposed (as seems increasingly likely – despite Wes Streeting previously
saying he would definitely stand as a candidate), he will become PM in the
middle of next month.
If there is a contest, the new PM will be in post by the end of August. The Commons returns after the summer recess on 1 Septemb
