British finance minister Rishi Sunak would take responsibility for leading the country if Dominic Raab, currently standing in for hospitalised Prime Minister Boris Johnson, were also incapacitated.
Johnson spent a night in intensive care receiving oxygen treatment following his admission to hospital with a persistent high temperature and cough, more than a week after testing positive for the novel coronavirus.
“There is an established order of precedence,” Johnson’s spokesman said. “In line with the order of precedence, the Chancellor would follow from the Foreign Secretary.”
