 | | The imperial household minister was never a member of the cabinet and the Kunaisho was administratively separate from the government (and thus, theoretically, removed from politics). | | | This was a senior official in the Kunaisho who served as the emperor's chief political advisor and the liaison between the Imperial Court and the government. | | | Currently it is composed of the prime minister (as chair, ex-officio), the president and vice-president of the House of Councilors, the speaker and vice-speaker of the House of Representatives, the chief judge and one other judge from the Supreme Court, the grand steward (the head of the Kunaicho), and two members of the Imperial Family. |

| | speech by Arthur Meighen |
| | The president of the conference is the Prime Minister of Great Britain, but the conference is called at the instance of the Secretary for the Colonies, and the mechanism, the secretariat of the conference, is under the latter's supervision. | | | In passing, I may say that provision was made by the Imperial War Cabinet whereby any of the British Dominions might have a minister of its Government present at all sessions of that Cabinet, between its plenary sessions, dealing with war matters. | | | It was called by the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and the subject matter that was taken up and reviewed by the War Cabinet differed essentially from the subject matter that came before the Imperial Conferences. |

| | The conference adopted the BALFOUR REPORT, which led to the passage of the STATUTE OF WESTMINSTER in 1931, establishing the right of the Dominions to full legislative autonomy. | | | But there was no Imperial War Cabinet this time, no Commonwealth consensus on the need to strengthen ties. | | | When David Lloyd George became British prime minister in late 1916, he immediately convened an Imperial War Conference and created an Imperial War Cabinet, 2 separate bodies which met in 1917 and 1918. |

| | Cryle, Denis. A British legacy?: The Empire Press Union and Freedom of the Press, 1940-1950 |
| | The issue of information monopoly, previously raised by Commonwealth delegations at pre-war Press Union conferences, was recast along broader East-West and North-South polarities, with the Press Union focussed on the former and the United Nations on the latter. | | | Murdoch himself had accepted the post of Minister of Information with the Curtin wartime administration in Australia, only to find that the opposition of his newspaper associates to wartime press controls placed him in an invidious position; he decided to resign when his own legislative drafts were not well received by the industry. | | | The tendency among British Commonwealth countries and territories to invoke wartime or arcane restrictive legislation was perceived by the Press Union as an on-going threat to press liberty, especially in an era of postcolonial uncertainty. |

| | The army and navy ministers and chiefs of staff in August 1945 equated kokutai with the emperor's right of supreme command, the mechanism by which they controlled the armed forces. | | | In the early morning hours of August 10 they made their decision and over the next four days crafted the myth that the emperor had saved the nation by his heroic intervention in favor of peace. | | | But some cabinet ministers and members of a cabinet advisory committee, composed largely of the leaders of big business, revisited the Potsdam Declaration, arguing that it had been a mistake to postpone acceptance of its terms. |

| | It was not until 1926 that an Imperial Conference resolved that the role of Governor-General was simply to be a "representative of the Crown", and to no longer be "the representative or agent of His Majesty's Government in Great Britain".(60) | | | For a time the Imperial Federation League had some influence, especially under the presidency of Alfred Deakin, three times prime minister of Australia. | | | Following pressure, mainly from the Irish Free State and South Africa, at the Imperial Conferences held in 1926 and 1930, the British government passed the Statute of Westminster 1931, which "stated that no United Kingdom law would in future apply to a Dominion unless that Dominion requested and consented to the law".(38) |

| | It also appears clear that the current sovereign has never possessed the power of executive appointment in the Dominions having ascended to the throne after the demise of the appointment and executive powers as the result of independence legislation. | | | On balance there is a strong presumption that the later legislation of the United Kingdom Parliament prevails giving independence to the Dominions including Australia and that the Commissions of Appointment insofar as they confer executive office and authority are a nullity. | | | After the inter-imperial Relations Conference of 1926 the Balfour Declaration reiterated the policy decisions. |
