- In 2011, the government of the United Kingdom acknowledged that a constitutional convention had developed whereby the House of Commons should have an opportunity to debate the matter before troops are committed. It said that it proposed to observe that convention except when there was an emergency and such action would not be appropriate. In the United Kingdom, the monarch is the Head of the Armed Forces and the decision to deploy the armed forces in situations of armed conflict is currently a prerogative power. Constitutional convention requires that, in the event of a commitment of the armed forces to military action, typically authorisation of the King is announced by the Prime Minister, on behalf of the Crown. Decisions on military action of the King are issued within the Cabinet with advice. The King's Defence Council has power of command over members of the armed forces. Parliamentary control over the armed forces is primarily based on the need of Acts of Parliament authorized by the monarch which govern enlistment and discipline to be annually renewed and approved by the monarch. Additionally, Acts of Parliament also affect the use of armed forces within the United Kingdom. (en)
