The parliamentary party will hold hustings in the morning, followed by a vote in the afternoon.
Another vote will take place on Wednesday, with a new leader set to be selected in the first week of November.
James Cleverly has become the bookmakers’ favourite after he urged party members to be “more normal” and “sell Conservatism with a smile” in a speech at the party’s conference last week.
