The Defence of the Realm Act (DORA) was passed on 8 August 1914, four days after we entered the First World War. It gave the government wide-ranging powers, such as the power to requisition buildings or land needed for the war effort, or to make regulations creating criminal offences.

Speaker: Kevin Varty.
