The size and shape of the National Security Secretariat (NSS) and its senior leadership has fluctuated since its inception in May 2010. From July 2010, there were two Deputy National Security Advisers (DNSAs): Julian Miller for Foreign & Defence Policy and Oliver Robbins for Intelligence, Security & Resilience. By March 2013, Hugh Powell - previously a National Security Secretariat Director - had been promoted to a newly created third DNSA position. As of 6 November 2014, there were three DNSAs: Hugh Powell as DNSA (Foreign Policy), Julian Miller as DNSA (Defence, Nuclear and Strategy) and Paddy McGuinness as DNSA (Intelligence, Security & Resilience). As of early December 2014, the National Security Secretariat was staffed by 180 officials and comprises five directorates: Foreign & Defence Policy; the Civil Contingencies Secretariat; Security & Intelligence; the Office of Cyber Security and Information Assurance, and UK Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT UK). As of 10 February 2015, Liane Saunders - previously the National Security Secretariat's Director for Foreign Policy and its Afghanistan/Pakistan Coordinator - was described as an Acting Deputy National Security Adviser (Conflict, Stability and Foreign Policy). |

On 16 June 2016, the Cabinet Office released staff data, correct as of 31 March 2016, listing two current Deputy National Security Advisers: Paddy McGuinness (responsible for Intelligence, Security and Resilience) and then Brigadier Gwyn Jenkins (responsible for Conflict, Stability & Defence). Jenkins appeared to have been in post since at least June 2015. Prior to becoming a deputy National Security Adviser, Jenkins was the military assistant to prime minister David Cameron. |

As of April 2017, it was announced that a diplomat, Dr. Christian Turner CMG, had replaced Jenkins as the second Deputy National Security Adviser, with a portfolio comprising 'foreign and defence policy.' According to one of Turner's tweets, dated 13 April 2017, his first week as Deputy National Security Adviser was the week commencing Monday 10 April 2017. Turner is now the High Commissioner to Pakistan. Turner was replaced by David Quarrey in July 2019. |

It was reported on 14 January 2018 that Paddy McGuinness was leaving the national security secretariat. His successor as deputy national security adviser for intelligence, security and resilience, Richard Moore, announced his appointment on 8 January via his personal Twitter account. Moore’s tenure as deputy NSA was relatively brief (circa three months), ending in early April when he returned to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as Political Director, a move he also announced via Twitter on 8 April. Although unconfirmed publicly by the UK government, Madeleine Alessandri had replaced Moore as the second deputy national security adviser. However, in September 2018, Alessandri's name and appointment was mentioned in a government response to the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament and a list of government salaries. Alessandri apparently took up her appointment in July 2018. Alessandri has left her Deputy NSA post to work in the Northern Ireland Office in January 2020. Alessandri has been replaced by Beth Sizeland while Alex Ellis has also been added as a deputy with the title 'Deputy National Security Adviser for the Integrated Review on diplomacy, development and defence'. Sizeland's appointment was confirmed in an oral evidence by Mark Sedwill, however, as of 25 May 2020, her appointment has not been updated on the Cabinet Office website. |

Odd Toralf Øyen (8 September 1914 – 3 January 1997) was a Norwegian resistance member and anaesthesiological physician. |
27328407_0_1 | 27328407 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd%20%C3%98yen | Odd Øyen | Odd Øyen. Early life and World War II
He was born in Oslo as a son of Lieutenant Colonel Toralf Øyen (1878–1963) and Elia Haugros (1876–1951). He took his examen artium at Riis in 1934. He enrolled in medicine studies in 1936, but his studies were interrupted by World War II. He participated in the Battle of Midtskogen on 10 April 1940, one day after Germany invaded Norway. He had finished basic officer training in 1936, and holding the rank of Second Lieutenant in 1940 he continued to participate in battles north of Midtskogen, in Østerdalen. Norway soon lost the battle phase of the Norwegian–German conflict, though, and entered a phase of occupation and secret resistance work. |
27328407_0_2 | 27328407 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd%20%C3%98yen | Odd Øyen | Odd Øyen.
In February 1944 Øyen became leader of weapons supply and stock of Milorg's District 13, the district covering Norway's capital district. The position was created by Oliver H. Langeland after some of the men handling weapon smuggling had been caught, most recently Mikael Hovhaugholen. Øyen's nom de guerre was "Gamle-Erik", a euphemism for Satan. His doublés were Olav Selvaag and Hans Heyerdahl. Selvaag was asked to become weapons leader originally, and took over on 9 April 1945 when Øyen established a paramilitary base in Nordmarka. Bror With had also been asked, by Jens Christian Hauge in 1943, but he rejected and instead volunteered to become a weapons manufacturer. He became best known for producing a hand grenade, but also mass-produced sten guns. All of this was highly illegal on Norwegian soil, and Øyen sometimes handled the weapons transport from production in Oslo to a testing site in Lommedalen. The weapons drops and manufacture grew in importance from September 1944, when Milorg started its sabotage group Aks 13000. |
27328407_0_3 | 27328407 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd%20%C3%98yen | Odd Øyen | Odd Øyen.
Øyen came close to being arrested on several occasions. In the summer of 1944, he was almost stopped in a German road control when transporting stenguns in a truck together with Asbjørn Pedersen and Bjørn Nicolaissen. In early 1945 Øyen spent the night at one of Milorg's secret offices, in the street Odins gate. The location had been unknowingly revealed when a random errand boy spotted a hidden weapon there and his friend about it in the presence of others. The office was raided by Gestapo the night Øyen slept there; he left before the raid after receiving a phone call from an unknown caller at 0230hrs. After the war, when Øyen spoke to newly imprisoned ex-Kriminalrat Siegfried Fehmer, Fehmer remarked dryly that "it was a pity I did not meet you earlier". |

Øyen met his future wife while doing resistance work. At first they did not know each other's names, only noms de guerre. He was married to Dagny Udberg (1916–1991) from February 1951. |

He resumed his medicine studies after the war and graduated in 1946. He was hired in the surgical department of Lillehammer Hospital in 1947. From 1948 to 1950 he worked in the anaesthesiological department at Rikshospitalet from 1948 to 1950 and as chief physician and head of the anaesthesiological department at Aker Hospital from 1951 to 1984. He was also a consultant for the Norwegian Armed Forces Medical Corps and lectured in disaster medicine at the University of Oslo. He spent some time working abroad, notably in a field hospital from 1951 to 1952 during the Korean War, as leader of the Norwegian sanitary company stationed in Suez from 1956 to 1957 after the Suez Crisis, and as sanitary leader for United Nations Operation in the Congo (intervening in the Congo Crisis, Katanga) in 1961. He was injured in Katanga in September 1961. He also served on an earthquake team in Turkey and in Jordan and Biafra. |
27328407_0_6 | 27328407 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd%20%C3%98yen | Odd Øyen | Odd Øyen.
Øyen chaired Norsk anestesiologisk forening from 1958 to 1963. In 1972 he started an interest group called "Fritt Norge med NATO". In 1991 he was among 28 war veterans who in a petition warned the government to not sign an international convention that abolished the death penalty in times of war. Other petitioners were Tore Gjelsvik, Oskar Hasselknippe, Jens Chr. Hauge, Håkon Kyllingmark, Bjørn Rørholt, Elisabeth Schweigaard Selmer, Tor Skjønsberg, Anne-Sofie Strømnæs, Gunnar Sønsteby and Reidar Torp. |
27328407_0_7 | 27328407 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd%20%C3%98yen | Odd Øyen | Odd Øyen.
He was decorated with the Defence Medal 1940–1945, St. Olav's Medal With Oak Branch, Knight 1st Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav (1962) and Knight 1st class of the Swedish Order of Vasa. He received the Order of Vasa for his actions in the Congo, reportedly the first non-Swedish citizen in about 150 years to receive the Order for actions in a military conflict. He died in January 1997 in Bærum, and was buried in Stor-Elvdal. |

When Helen runs out of the classroom in distress, Mrs Lupey sends Kitty after her, despite the two not being particular friends. Kitty soon realises that Helen dislikes the man her mother is going to marry, so she tells her the story of how she first loathed Gerald, her mother's boyfriend, and how she gradually got used to him, despite his anti-CND views. "Goggle-Eyes"' is the nickname Kitty gives Gerald, because of the way he stares ("goggles") at Kitty's mother. The story is told in a cloakroom cupboard during one morning, with occasional interruptions from Liz and Mrs Lupey. |

"V Put'" (, ) is a song written in 1954 by Soviet composer Vasily Solovyov-Sedoi and poet Mikhail Dudin. It was originally written for the film Maksim Perepelitsa starring Leonid Bykov. The movie itself was released in 1955, and the song has achieved fame and popularity independently of it ever since. To this day it is still used as a so-called drill song (somewhat similar to a cadence call in the U.S. Army). In 1959, Vasily Solovyov-Sedoi received the Lenin Prize for this song. |

V Put' is performed on Victory Day as well as on other military holidays in Russia, Belarus and other former Soviet republics. This song has also been translated into German (by Oktoberklub), Chinese and Korean (DPRK) versions. The German translation of the song became the signature Nationale Volksarmee march, «Unterwegs». |

John Walter Conway (1873 – 1933) was the distinguished Secretary of the Tredegar Medical Aid Society in South Wales. This society contributed the model which established the British National Health Service. |
27328522_0_1 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway. Personal life
Conway was born in December 1872 to Thomas Conway and Mary Conway (née Thomas). He was born in Plantation Street (now demolished), Rhymney, which was then a village. Walter Conway had one sibling, his brother Thomas, who was born four years later. |
27328522_0_2 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway.
The 1881 census documents that Conway’s father had become a single parent, living with his two young sons in Tredegar, in the next valley. Perhaps his father decided to move to Tredegar to find work there. It had coal mines and an iron works, and was a boom town. While Conway was still a child, his father died. Consequently he was placed (with, presumably, his brother) in the care of the Bedwellty Union Workhouse, the town’s workhouse. The building was formally called 'Ty Bryn' but was called locally 'The Spike’. |
27328522_0_3 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway.
Conway described himself as a 'workhouse boy'. He obtained two benefits from his stay in the workhouse. First, from the Master he learnt the lesson 'to do everything well'. Second, he became acquainted with the world of books, which he described as being his best friends. |
27328522_0_4 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway.
From 1891, Tredegar had had a Workmen's Institute Library that was run by the main employer in the town, the Tredegar Iron and Coal Company. It was financed by contributions that were deducted at source from the earnings of its employees and administered by a committee which comprised members from each of the Company’s coal mines. In 1900 Conway was one of the eight members for the library on the committee for the Pochin No. 1 Pit. (The name 'Pochin' comes from Henry Pochin, an English industrial chemist, who was one of the directors of the Company). |
27328522_0_5 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway.
On 19 December 1898, Conway married Mary Elizabeth Morgan from Tredegar, who was three years his junior. His 'rank or profession' was 'coal miner'. They lived in Glyn Terrace, Tredegar. The couple had three daughters and one son. The eldest was Catherine Ann, who was born c.1900. The next eldest was Christina, who was born c.1902. The next eldest was Mary Elizabeth, who was born c.1904. The son died in the late 1980s. Catherine died when she was a young married woman. She is buried in what was then the new part of Cefn Golau Cemetery, Tredegar. |

Conway became a mentor and teacher to the teenage Aneurin Bevan, like him a resident of Tredegar. Also, he helped Bevan to manage his stutter. The Medical Society was already employing doctors under its Medical Supertendant, but it went on to open offices and a dentists and a central surgery. |
27328522_0_7 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway.
During the winter of 1920–1921, Conway, Bevan and other friends formed the Query Club, which was a radical debating society.
Conway was a devout and very active Presbyterian. According to Bryant (1998), he was a deacon of his local chapel, where he and his family attended three services on Sundays. A photograph of a class of the Chapel Sunday school seen in Tredegar Museum shows him in the centre, doubtless as the teacher. |
27328522_0_8 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway. Public life
In 1908, Conway was elected as a guardian on the Board of Guardians of the town’s workhouse, the Bedwellty Union Workhouse, in which capacity he served more than twenty years. Some of his colleagues on the Board of Guardians were members of the new Independent Labour Party (ILP), which had been established in Bradford in 1893. The party had members in many parts of south Wales. However, a branch of the party was established in the town much later than in other parts of south Wales, in 1911, which might have reflected the traditional allegiance of the local working class to the Liberal Party. |
27328522_0_9 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway.
In April 1915, while employed as a haulier in one of the local collieries, Conway was elected chairman of Bedwellty Board of Guardians. Also in 1915, from more than fifty applicants, he was appointed Secretary of the Tredegar Medical Aid Society, which he had enthusiastically supported since at least 1909. He remained in office for the whole of his life. The following year, in addition to undertaking this role, he gave classes on social science under the auspices of the London-based Central Labour College (CLC), which had been established in 1909 with the financial help of the South Wales Miners' Federation. The motto of the College was "Agitate Educate Organise". |
27328522_0_10 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway.
Conway was also a prominent trade union leader and occupied important positions in workmen's organisations. Doubtless it was because of his ability that he came to hold at least three prestigious positions in Tredegar. He was Chairman of both the Board of Guardians of Bedwellty Workhouse and the Assessment Committee of Bedwellty Union. |
27328522_0_11 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway. The Tredegar Medical Aid Society
Conway is most remembered as the Secretary of the Tredegar Medical Aid Society. He enabled the Society to provide medical services to twenty thousand local inhabitants. By 1925, The society purchased the redundant Palace cinema which they converted into an additional surgery as well as establishing space for their own dental mechanic. These surgeries liaised with the Tredegar General Hospital which had existed since 1904. |
27328522_0_12 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway.
The Society employed Dr A. J. Cronin, who depicted it in his novel The Stars Look Down. Other similar societies existed in the South Wales valleys and England. However, inevitably Bevan drew upon his local society as a model when, as Minister of Health in the post-war Labour government, he created the National Health Service. |
27328522_0_13 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway. Legacy
By the time of Conway's death, the Tredegar Medical Aid Society was supplying the medical needs of 95% of the population. The Society was run by a committee of thirty members. However, its success was largely due to Conway's outstanding talents as a health administrator. At one stage, the Society employed five doctors, two dentists with a mechanic each, pharmacy dispensers and assistants and a nurse. Not only did the society see to the medical expenses but it also supplied good wages and conditions for its staff. The doctors were allowed some private work which again was a model followed within the National Health Service when it was established just over a decade after Conway died. |
27328522_0_14 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway.
Conway has a street named after him in Tredegar. He died in February 1933 and is buried in what was then the new part of Cefn Golau Cemetery, Tredegar. A photograph of the lengthy funeral procession shows the mourners making their way on foot from the town up the hill to the cemetery. Conway never saw himself portrayed as "Owen" in the 1938 film The Citadel, which was based on Cronin's novel. |
27328522_0_15 | 27328522 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Conway | Walter Conway | Walter Conway. Documentary sources
At present only three documentary sources about Conway are known to exist. The earliest source is an anonymous obituary of him, 'A romantic career Death of Mr Walter Conway, Tredegar Workhouse Boy who became Chairman of Guardians Unique Public Service', which was published in the Saturday 18 February 1933 edition of the Merthyr Express. The next source are brief anecdotes about Conway by Harold Finch, MP. in his 1972 Memoirs of a Bedwellty MP, published by the Starling Press, Risca, Newport. The other source is Chapter Three of The health of a nation The history and background of the National Health Service with thoughts on its future by Kenneth M. Bryant (1998), which was published by the author. |
