About 40 Tory MPs have suggested how the government could lower taxes by £7bn as they criticised the recent budget, while a Conservative group concerned about the party losing its way has been launched.
Mr Hunt is understood to be open to considering the report's recommendations as part of a wider efficiency review.
Billionaire Conservative donor Lord Cruddas, the party's former treasurer, is spearheading the campaign with Ms Patel.The group's aim is to"empower party members and steer its political direction back to the centre-right" after Boris Johnson was ousted, Liz Truss was forced to step down after 44 days and Mr Sunak became prime minister without a members' vote.
Lord Cruddas, who previously organised a petition to keep Mr Johnson in office after he was ousted by his own MPs and claimed Ms Truss faced a"conspiracy" by the backbench 1922 Committee, said democracy within the party is"dying on its feet".
