// I know I skipped 1951. Information from the several websites I use are scarce on the budget for the year, so we will settle for the 1952 budget instead and be a few months ahead in RP time.

Lord Reximus Alewood, the Earl of Dumbarton made this statement today:

"The British Concordat Bill is just one more nail in the coffin of the Scottish Separatists!
Our union, our beautiful union, of the British people, shall live on in harmony.
The defeat of that SNP candidate for Argyll is short and sweet, the ridiculous and treacherous idea of severing the British brotherhood had been nipped in the bloody bud.

Rejoice! Glorious Unity!"

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has seen fit to issue a further bill, solidifying the position of the combined Crowns of Great Britain and further cementing them as a joint crown of these isles. This bill's purpose is to make clear, that these United Kingdoms are and shall always be, a single, hereditary Kingdom, under the banner and throne of our ordained monarch.

The British Concordat Bill

Proposed By: The Prime Minister

Summary: Further integration and cementing of the crowns of England and Scotland, with the Principality of Wales and territories of Northern Ireland.

Body Paragraph:
The bill stands to further cement the bond of the two Crowns of Great Britain into a singular, inseparable entity. The post-war climate has clearly indicated that to function and remain as a great power, we must further centralise domestic powers in this Parliament and nation.

This bill, while similar to the Union Act of 1707, further serves to concentrate domestic policy and government control within Whitehall and the British Governments thereafter.

Additionally, it serves to provide a single political platform for the entire nation of Great Britain to voice their concerns and propose them within these walls as a single, united legislative body.

Cabinet Offices Building, Borough of Whitehall, City of London | At the start of his tenure as Home Secretary, the Right Honorable Member of Parliament from East Surrey, Sir Peter Cushing, proposed the idea of a “National Security Council” to the Prime Minister. This council would be composed of the security or intelligence heads in government and act outside of the Cabinet, but still under the Cabinet, without legislative authority. The bill says the following:

National Security Act of 1951

Proposed By: The Right Honorable Home Secretary
Sponsored By: The Right Honorable Prime Minister

Summary: The National Security Council would act as an advisory body to the Prime Minister, and by extension, the Cabinet, in an efficient and orderly manner.

Body Paragraph: The purpose of this bill is to create an executive body composed of all top military, security, and intelligence officials, officers of political and military capacity, and other such leaders in each field. The new Council, named for this bill (National Security Council) would not have legislative or executive authority, and act as an advisory body to the Prime Minister, and by extension, the Cabinet, in an efficient and orderly manner and be formed in times of national emergency with the utmost quickness and speed to respond to such situations in timely fashion.

The Council would specifically consist of the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, all chiefs of staff of each branch of the military, each Military Intelligence head, the Director of Military Intelligence, the Home Secretary, the Admiralty leadership, the secretaries of state for War and Air, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, the proper officers of state in the Privy Council, regional leaders, when necessary, also representatives from the Royal Household, such as those concerned with the security of the Royal Family, and finally, the Prime Minister. The Council would also keep His Majesty appraised of any situation necessitating a formation of this Council within constitutional boundaries. This is a bipartisan, apolitical council, with the mission statement focused entirely on ensuring national security, and the safety of every single citizen of the United Kingdom. Membership in this Council does not grant special powers to any one person privy to these meetings, and each councilor continues their own office, limited to the powers of that office for which they were appointed to at the proper, given time.

The Right Honorable Sir Peter W. Cushing, Lord Privy Seal, Secretary of State for the Home Department, Member of the House of Commons for East Surrey
