Nick Robinson, BBC Political Editor, blogs about the decision to split the Home Office into two. Interestingly, while John Reid’s reasoning is to allow greater concentration on counter-terrorism, Robinson notes that the idea is not new for a different reason. For a long time, he says, many in politics have argued that putting prison and probation in a separate department may mean that they are not left under-resourced as the Home Secretary focusses on police.
