When will Theresa May be Prime Minister?

David Cameron has confirmed he is bowing out on Wednesday after a final Prime Minister's Questions.
He will take a valedictory session with some gentle ribbing after chairing his final Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
He told journalists: "After that I expect to go to the palace and offer my resignation.
"So we will have a new Prime Minister in that building behind me by Wednesday evening."

What did David Cameron say?

The outgoing Prime Minister said in a quick statement: "I'm delighted we're not going to have a prolonged Conservative leadership campaign."
He added: " Andrea Leadsom made the right decision to step aside."
And confirming a formal announcement by the party that hasn't yet been made, he said Mrs May "will be the next Prime Minister".

Was Theresa May even confirmed as PM yet?

Technically no, but it was a question of when not if.
Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee of Tory backbenchers, said the decision had to be run past the 22-strong party board.
But asked if there was a chance the contest would be re-opened, he said: "None whatsoever. We have a single candidate.
"The position is now we need formal confirmation of the new leader of the party."
