Chapter IX Law on the Protection of Special Talents
There was still some time before the start of school, and it was only the third week of August.
Anthony did not return to Windsor Castle and was allowed by the Queen to live at Buckingham Palace.
But now he has more freedom than before.
For several days on end, Mr. Bond drove him around London, not for fun, but for work.
In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Silver Thorn, Anthony was holding a government document in his hand.
This is a cabinet proposal, about a law.
Law on the Protection of Special Talents
He was holding a hundred-word briefing, colloquially known as a fool's edition, that was not the full content of the law.
Legislative steps in the UK are usually proposed by the Prime Minister first, then discussed by the Cabinet, sent to the House of Commons for a vote, then handed over to the House of Lords for sealing, and finally signed by the Queen.
Among them, all the ministers of the Cabinet are appointed, dismissed and promoted by the Prime Minister, so there will be no problem in the Cabinet discussion and approval, and the most important thing is that the House of Commons will deliberate, which is the most important thing.
The opposition parties (the Conservative Party and the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, the two parties take turns in power, and the opposition parties are also called opposition parties. The shadow cabinet and the backbenchers will do everything possible to block all the policies of the Prime Minister's cabinet, and to oppose it for the sake of opposition is to make it difficult for the cabinet. In order to achieve the goal of weakening the authority of the prime minister, and to gain an advantage in the next general election.
Mr. Harker and Sir Humphrey never thought that the House of Commons would pass the National Extraordinary Talent Protection Act.
Even if they have prepared more than 300 pages of specific legal texts, it is useless to explain them article by article.
Because there are some things that can't be explained.
For example, special talents?
What is a Specialty Talent? How do you identify someone as a special talent? What are the criteria for recognition?
In this law, there are explanations of these terms, all of which are written on the pretext of national security.
What is a Specialty Talent? I'm sorry that state secrets can't be disclosed; What are the criteria? State secrets cannot be disclosed; Accredited Institutions? Secrets cannot be revealed.
Even if the two parties are close to each other in this kind of law, the other side will not allow the authorities to introduce such a 'non-coordinated' law.
But it doesn't matter, Mr. Prime Minister has been premeditated.
In the UK, the Prime Minister can ask Parliament to adjourn on a date after obtaining the Queen's approval.
This power actually comes from the struggle between the British crown and the 'civil power' (in fact, capital), the actual power of the United Kingdom is in the House of Commons, the members of the parliament are elected by the people, nominally representing the rights and interests of the British people, but the royal power is also retained, including the king can order the dissolution of parliament and the adjournment of the two.
The former right, the last used by the King of England, has his head blended with the land.
Therefore, it is only a nominal right, and no monarch has ever used it in a hundred years.
The latter right, on the other hand, is much more routine and is used by almost every prime minister.
After all, if you waste all your energy on arguing with those parliamentarians, then I am afraid that I will not be able to achieve anything during my tenure. Therefore, most prime ministers will choose to use the Queen's power to ask Parliament to adjourn and let their policies be carried out first.
As for the arguments of the parliamentarians after the meeting?
I'm sorry, but at that time, the law had been implemented and the queen had signed it, so there was time to rip it off.
But none of this has anything to do with Anthony, not even with Mr. Bond.
Because, although the law has not yet been officially passed, the agents have long been in contact with those key targets.
For example...
Harry Potter has been exposed!
...
Mr. Dursley has been in a hurry these days, not only because of the extra freak in his own house, but also because of the tail on his son's Dudley's ass.
It's a pity that he's been tossing and getting angry these days.
Finally, just today, he contacted a very 'regular' surgical hospital, the doctor with the title of doctor, and at a glance he knew that he was a high-class successful person.
He had been waiting in line for an appointment with the doctor a week ago.
But soon Mr. Dursley's excitement was more than that.
Because just today, he received a call from the hospital, and the doctor on the other end who claimed to be the director informed him that something had happened to Mr. Doctor, so they temporarily changed the doctor to Dudley.
A person at the level of a professor at a university. He has decades of experience in surgery and is a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
It would be a waste of manpower for such a big man to come and give Dudley a simple excisional operation.
Of course, this is actually the government's arrangement.
No... It should be said that it was arranged by a certain minister of the Cabinet. Otherwise, which medical master would intervene in such a minor operation.
Anthony knew about it.
Just now.
He learned it from Mr. Bond.
He really didn't know what to say about it, and the right thing for Harry to do was for Mr. Bond to find someone to beat Mr. Dursley.
But it's not to blame the agents.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the Dursleys were 'kind and generous' to adopt Harry and raise him, so no matter how you look at it, the relationship between them should be very harmonious.
But what they didn't know was that Harry's real situation was like that of a house elf. Escaping from this home may be the rare thing he and Anthony have in common.
As he spoke, the car slowly drove into No. 4 Nuzhen Road, Xiaohuijin District.
Anthony swears he never wants anything to do with Harry Potter.
He didn't want to get into trouble, and he didn't want to put himself in trouble.
But who made the trio the mainstay of the Ministry of Magic in the future?
An Auror Chief of Staff, a Minister of Magic, and one of the pure-bloods with the longest history in the wizarding world.
With such a combination, no one will ignore them.
After the end of the Second Wizarding War, the three of them were the loudest figures in the entire wizarding world.
Having a good relationship with them will not only make Anthony's future magical path easier, but more importantly, they will be in line with Mr. Huck's expectations. It is an important force that can fight for and contribute to the country.
Hermione, in particular, as the future Minister of Magic, will save the central government a lot of trouble.
As for now...
Eleven-year-old Harry Potter was favored by agents only because he was the first young wizard to reveal his identity.
This unannounced visit was also Mr. Bond's idea.
Disguised as an assistant to a community doctor, he visited Dursley's home to learn about Dudley's condition.
Of course, more important is for Harry Potter.
To Mr. Bond's surprise, however, he didn't see Harry in the living room.
Penny poured him a cup of black tea and sat down with him.
That handsome face aroused Vernon's alarm.
Taking advantage of this, Mr. Bond went on a frantic offensive, but no matter how much he tried to beat around the bush, the two never got the slightest news from Harry.
It's as if they don't have this person in their family.
