Liz Truss is to meet the One Nation group of Conservative MPs tonight.
The prime minister’s official spokesman confirmed the gathering would be taking place around 6 pm.
The One Nation group has not typically been enthusiastic in its support of Ms Truss.
One member, Victoria Atkins, told the BBC this morning that Ms Truss was PM “for the moment” and she needed to return to their values of “compassionate Conservatism”.
Damian Green was more conciliatory, saying the appointment of Jeremy Hunt offered an opportunity for a fresh start.
After the meeting with the large group of backbenchers, Ms Truss will then host a cabinet reception just before 8 pm.
The prime minister’s official spokesman said she wants to “engage” with cabinet colleagues.
