Předsednictvo ministerské rady, Praha

The fonds includes the entire agenda of the Presidium of the Ministerial Council. Several relatively coherent units directly concern Jews, their organizations, religious societies, relevant government regulations (with an overlap after 1939 - legal status in the Protectorate, Jewish property, emigration, Jews in the civil service); reports on the activities of Jewish parties and organizations, the memorandum of the Zionist Revision Union, the affairs of companies of Jewish entrepreneurs (strike at the company of M. Beer in Svitávka, national situation at the company of A. Hahn in Bohumín). Other materials need to be searched for in the other agendas: e. g. outlines of laws and comments on them, parliamentary interpellations, minutes of ministerial council meetings, political situation reports, reports on political party meetings, reports on political party activities, election materials, personal matters of deputies and senators, requests, complaints and memoranda of various unions, associations, traders and individuals, matters of banks, economy, industry, government participation in domestic and international conventions and congresses.

The Presidium was set up to provide the Ministerial Council (government) with office service and to serve as the executive body of the prime minister. It was effective for all the preparatory and auxiliary work to be entrusted to a body directly under the Prime Minister. The Presidium was to ensure the uniformity of the government decision-making and the uniformity of legislative and administrative activities of individual ministries. It submitted to the Government for discussion both the outline of laws and Government regulations submitted by individual ministers, as well as international treaties; after their approval, it submitted them to the National Assembly. It was the mediator between the Government and other constitutional bodies. During the Protectorate reorganization of the central offices in 1942, the Presidium was abolished and replaced by the Secretariat of the Prime Minister. Accessible
