Three times lucky
Another change is the creation of a new national-security committee, chaired by the prime minister, which will replace three separate cabinet committees covering aspects of the matter. This approach is an improvement, if a recipe for epic squabbling, says Charlie Edwards of Demos, a think-tank. Mr Brown also plans to make Parliament more independent in its scrutiny of the secret services.

The devil is in the detail
In February Demos published a report making the case for a national security strategy. Among the 12 or so recommendations the report suggested that the Government:
* Create a national security strategy
* Create a ministerial committee on national security under the instruction of the Prime Minister
* Provide an annual report on the implementation of the strategy to Parliament
Gordon Brown has committed the Government to implementing all of the above.

Review of Policing
Sir Ronnie Flanagan, HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary is leading an independent review of the police service. We have been asked to advise him. Given the very short deadline(s) for the review we could simply draw on some of our own work but it strikes me that we need to have a more comprehensive and innovative approach - hence why we have created a wiki to solicit the views of serving police officers (in England, Wales and internationally), public servants, academics and NGOs to answer the questions posed by the review.

Splitting headache
Terrorism is the main reason given for the split. Mr Reid says the new Home Office will be “faster, brighter and more agile” at catching bombers. It will handle policing, ID cards and immigration, and a new security and counter-terrorism outfit will take over from the Cabinet Office, which used to co-ordinate security. Giving anti-terrorism to the Home Office may sharpen accountability, says Charlie Edwards of Demos, a think-tank, but handing control to the law-and-order brigade may mean fewer attempts to win hearts and minds.
