...The British Prime Minister was injured but not killed in an assassination attempt. At the moment, I believe that the Home Secretary would co-ordinate the immediate response as they chair the Civil Contingencies Committee but would they be the Acting Prime Minister or would it be the Deputy Leader of the governing party assuming the role of Acting Party Leader and therefore Acting PM?

For example, if David Cameron were to be injured, would Theresa May the Home Secretary take charge or William Hague, the de facto Deputy Tory Leader, First Secretary of State and Foreign Secretary?

Or is it something completely different?
