Liz Truss has left the chamber of the House of Commons just minutes after arriving
It comes after she arrived towards the end of Penny Mordant answering questions from MPs on her behalf.
Ms Mordaunt said: "With apologies to the leader of the opposition and the House, the PM is detained on urgent business." "The country is in an economic crisis made in Downing Street, because they've lost all credibility. Government borrowing costs have soared, mortgage rates have ballooned, markets need reassuring and there is long term damage that cant be undone.
Ms Truss has been asked to come to the Commons to speak about sacking Kwasi Kwarteng and replacing him with Jeremy Hunt, who on Monday announced he will reverse almost every part of Ms Truss's economic plan, which previously sent markets into turmoil. Mr Hunt dropped plans to cut basic income tax to 19p from 20p per pound, said alcohol duty will no longer be frozen and announced the international shopper VAT exemption will also go.
