What the document says

“The NSC staff will need to consolidate the functions of both the NSC and the Homeland Security Council (HSC)”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 52

The chapter says the National Security Council staff will need to absorb the Homeland Security Council and the Office of the National Cyber Director, and evaluate which regional and functional directorates are required. It notes that the Homeland Security Council has overseen pandemic response and says its incorporation is important.

What the document actually says

“The NSC staff will need to consolidate the functions of both the NSC and the Homeland Security Council (HSC)”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 52
That sentence, in plain words

There are two councils that keep us safe. The staff will need to join them into one.

What this is about

There are two councils, one for threats abroad and one for threats at home. The book says one should absorb the other. The home one has handled things like pandemics.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
