A source said: “There are concerns that MPs will return after the anniversary and have no choice but to fold after speaking to voters.”

Ex-Health Secretary Steve Brine and Anne Marie Morris submitted letters to the leader of the 1922 group, Sir Graham Brady.

Critic David Davis said his peers “see their own seats disappear” because the number 10 is breaking the rules.

Former Attorney General Robert Buckland says defeats in June by-election will spark change.

The 1922 Committee is the vehicle for Tory MPs to oust a Prime Minister.

It takes a no-confidence letter from 15 percent of Conservative MPs to trigger a leadership vote.

This means that 54 letters are currently required.
