Liz Truss was told of the Queen's condition before she delivered a speech on Thursday on freezing energy prices for two years.
It has now emerged Truss was briefed on events before she arrived in the House of Commons to deliver the speech which will save the typical household £1000-a-year. Officials in Downing Street didn't think much of it when a routine briefing about Operation London Bridge, the preparations for the Queen's death, was cancelled on Wednesday afternoon.
Cabinet Secretary Simon Case, a former private secretary to Prince William, was informed by Buckingham Palace about the Queen's condition and told Truss on Thursday morning before she headed to the Commons.
