Amber Rudd said the government is now “carefully” looking to what she described as a “disappointing” stunt during Prime Minister’s speech, when a protester handed Theresa May a fake P45.
Quizzed by Eddie Mair for the PM programme, the home secretary said there was a “tremendous warmth” for the prime minister from those in the conference hall as she succumbed to regular coughing fits throughout her speech.
The full ten-minute interview will be broadcast during Wednesday’s PM programme on BBC Radio 4 at 17:00 BST.
