Privy Council
Privy Council
Council composed originally of the chief royal officials of the Norman kings in Britain; under the Tudors and early Stuarts it became the chief governing body. It was replaced from 1688 by the cabinet, originally a committee of the council, and the council itself now retains only formal powers in issuing royal proclamations and orders in council. There are about 500 privy counsellors. Cabinet ministers are automatically members, and it is presided over by the lord president of the council (Baroness Ashton from June 2007).
