The Emergency Powers Act 1920 was passed by the Lloyd George Coalition Government and gave the sovereign power to declare an emergency by proclamation in certain circumstances, by Order in Council, and gave the government limited emergency powers. It made permanent the powers of the war-time Defence of the Realm Act. However this Act did not apply to Ireland.
