The Health Secretary has praised the prime minister for continuing with her conference speech, despite having a really bad cough and almost losing her voice.

Jeremy Hunt, Conservative MP for Surrey South West, told the World at One that he hoped the public would now see Theresa May's "tremendous sense of duty" which she portrayed by continuing with her speech.

He added "to have a cough and cold is one thing, but to do it with the eyes of the nation on you,... that was something else"
