Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has refused to say whether she will stand for leadership of the Conservative Party following the resignation of David Cameron.
The prime minister stepped down this morning after the Leave campaign won the EU referendum.
Ms Morgan was asked by BBC Radio 4's World at One programme if she'd taken soundings from within her party on whether she could stand for the position.
She said it was "too soon" and that not even 24 hours had passed since the polls closed.
But she added:
I've said before it would be good to have a woman in the final two [in any future Tory leadership election race]."
She said she wasn't surprised the prime minister had resigned. He was an "honourable" man and his decision was a "huge loss", she said.
The debate over Europe was over, she said, and now the government had to work on delivering the manifesto on which they were elected last year.
