Commons officials concerned about Theresa May’s health have reportedly drawn up contingency plans to whisk her out of the Commons if she collapses.

The Prime Minister has faced a punishing routine of meetings and travel both here and to Europe as she battled to get a Brexit deal across the line.

She has also put in a large number of hours in the Commons trying to win MPs over to backing her deal. 

Concerns about the health of the 62-year-old Prime Minister, who has type 1 diabetes, have led officials to develop a ‘protocol’ in case she becomes ill at the Dispatch Box, the Sunday Times reported.

The signs of the toll that Brexit has been taking showed on March 12 as she lost her voice and struggled to speak as she put her deal to the Commons and lost by 149 votes.

The Prime Minister brought back memories of her 2017 Conservative Party Conference speech as she was reduced to a croak as she addressed MPs in the Commons.

After a red-eye trip to Strasbourg to meet Jean-Claude Juncker the previous night she was noticeably hoarse as she introduced the motion for her doomed second meaningful vote.
