No, each 'div' has a corporate structure. The whole point is that there are too many conflicting layers to the structure. The customer UK Gov is also part of the Corp Structure. MOD also part customer/part Corp/Part Div (MOD agencies). Each service has it's own Corp structure and many conflicting divs. To say it's wasteful would be an understatement.
