The four candidates will do it all again on Tuesday. The fourth round of voting will take place at around 3 pm.

There will be a final round on Wednesday, in which the final two candidates will be revealed.
On Thursday, Parliament enters recess.
During this time, Conservative Party members have time to select their winner, with the results to be announced by 5 September.
