Responsibilities

The Home Secretary is currently responsible for:

• Police
• Crime
• Terrorism
• Citizenship
• Identity cards and passports

Constitutional & Legal Affairs

The Home Secretary has no responsibility for the Courts of England and Wales. Law enforcement in the United Kingdom is organised separately in Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales (administration of Police matters Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion British nationality law is the law of the United Kingdom concerning Citizenship and other categories of British Nationality. Enabling legislation for the British national identity card was passed under the Identity Cards Act 2006 British passports may be issued to people holding any of the various forms of British nationality. Her Majesty's Courts of Justice of England and Wales are the civil and criminal Courts responsible for the administration of Justice in England Unlike many other governments issues usually dealt with by a Department of Justice, the British government has three separate departments: The Home Office (as specified above), the Attorney General's Office and the Ministry of Justice, headed by the Secretary of State for Justice, for legal, judicial and civil rights issues. Her Majesty's Attorney General for England and Wales, usually known simply as the Attorney General, is the chief legal adviser of the Crown in England and Wales The Ministry of Justice has been a department of the government of the United Kingdom since 2007 See also Lord Chancellor The Secretary of State for Justice is a United Kingdom cabinet position

Development of other government departments

Because the Home Office was initially the primary government department with responsibility for domestic affairs, all subsequent domestic departments have effectively been created by taking responsibilities from the Home Office. The Home Office is the United Kingdom government department responsible for security and order Until 2001 this left a variety of miscellaneous tasks that sat apart from the law and order functions of the department, such as British Summer Time or wild birds in Scotland. Scotland ( Gaelic: Alba) is a Country in northwest Europethat occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain. ^[1] However, on the appointment of David Blunkett as Home Secretary, these functions - and others such as responsibility for the Fire Brigade - have been reallocated to other departments to give the position a focus solely on law and order.
