	At cabinet level, after looking at the uk.gov site, is the 
Minister of the Treasury to whom the Department of Inland Revenue 
reports...there is also a Minister of Defense. The wizards don't have a 
Department of Magical War  (or Defense) either...it could be all our 
references to Vold War I and II are Muggle thinking. In Wizard eyes, 
Voldie and his gang are criminals. Or maybe war and taxation are both 
managed by the International Confederation of Wizards. Hmm.
