William Hague yesterday became the first member of the Tory leadership to predict a Conservative victory next year and said that his party was psychologically prepared for government.
and as a sign of this increased confidence,he has revealed some of the conversations that the party has had with the civil service
Mr Cameron’s team has instructed the Permanent Secretary of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to prepare for a “national security council”. Headed by Mr Cameron, it would include the defence, foreign, home and energy secretaries. Breaking with Labour’s “sofa government” it would be a decision-making body staffed by the Cabinet Office secretariat, he said. Putting the Foreign Office on notice, Mr Hague said: “That is one of the things we would expect them to be prepared for when we come to office.”
