When using speech in a quote do you use two inverted commas in a row?

Yes, but the convention is to switch from double quotes to single (or vice versa).
An example:
She answered, "He said 'Not likely' ".
Alternatively, this could be punctuated:
She answered, 'He said "Not likely" '.
There is no rule about which of these two styles you follow, but it is important to be consistent once you have chosen one of the styles.
