What will Liz Truss do as UK PM?

Liz Truss will become Britain's new prime minister on Tuesday after winning the ruling Conservative Party's leadership contest, replacing the ousted Boris Johnson.

Below are details of the policies Truss has proposed during the leadership contest.

TAX AND SPENDING

- No new taxes

- Set out action within a week to help households with rising energy bills.

- Hold an emergency budget and review of government spending

- Reverse a 1.25 percentage point rise in payroll tax known as National Insurance. The rise was introduced by then finance minister Rishi Sunak in April to help pay for the health and social care system

- Apply a temporary moratorium on environmental and social levies added to consumers' electricity bills

- Not impose any new levies on unhealthy food and ditch plans to restrict multi-buy deals on food and drink high in fat, salt, or sugar

- Review the way families are treated by tax authorities, with a view to easing the tax burden when family members are not working in order to care for children or relatives

ECONOMY AND DOMESTIC

- Review the Bank of England's mandate without compromising its independence

- No energy rationing

- No new Scottish independence referendum

- A six-point education reform package, including measures to cut childcare costs

- Tackle violence against women and girls including criminalising street harassment

- Increase frontline border force by 20% and double the border force maritime staffing levels

- Review energy and water regulators, Ofgem and Ofwat, respectively, to ensure they are "much more effective"

INTERNATIONAL

- Increase defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP by 2030 from 2.3 per cent of GDP projected this year
