Boris Johnson's hospitalization has highlighted the lack of a formal line of succession in the UK government should the Prime Minister be incapacitated
Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove said in an interview with the BBC that the Prime Minister was"not on a ventilator" but had"received oxygen support."He told BBC Radio 4's Today program that Johnson was"receiving the very best care" at St. Thomas' Hospital in London, after being taken into intensive care at 7 p.m. local time on Monday.
"Dominic [Raab] takes on the responsibilities of chairing the various meetings the PM would've chaired but we're all working together to implement the plan that the PM has set out," he said.But Gove sidestepped a question about who held the"nuclear codes," saying he would not discuss national security issues.
