1) My understanding is that Mr. Brown stopped being PM the moment HM
accepted his resignation, but Mr. Cameron didn't become PM until the
moment he accepted the invitation to form a government. Had some
crisis occured between those two events, who would have been running
things?

The Cabinet Secretary, same as always. :-)

IOW, Sir Humphrey lives!

take care,
Scott
