A cabinet minister has told Sky News Political Editor Beth Rigby that Liz Truss is to delay the vote on cutting the 45p rate of tax for higher earners.
The policy was announced in last Friday's mini-budget but would have to go to a vote of MPs before it could be approved.
Earlier today, the party said any Tory MP who voted against the mini-budget would have the whip removed .She added:"Liz Truss is avoiding a showdown with backbenchers in the coming weeks and buying herself some time." It comes as Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng was set to tell members to withstand the turbulence so the government could show their plan is"sound, credible and will increase growth".
