<p>The National Security Council is a sub-committee of the full Cabinet. It addresses
all elements of national security strategy. It seeks to understand the context, risks
and opportunities facing the country; debates policy options; decides courses of action;
and monitors and evaluates their implementation. It brings together Ministers and
experts on a weekly basis, fostering genuine discussion and collective decision-making
on both strategic and operational issues. Regularity of meetings enables Ministers
to build up knowledge of particularly complex matters over time and to take well-informed
decisions. Specialised sub-committees ensure that appropriate attention is paid to
the most complex and technical issues.</p>
