Does that mean that Military Intelligence (MI) sections 5, 6 and 8 will fall under the Ministry of Defence? MI5 is currently a Home Office asset, MI6 is Foreign and Commonwealth Office and MI8 (GCHQ) is a blur of Home Office, Foreign & Commonwealth Office and Ministry of Defence funding (under the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs). Or does that mean that Defence Intelligence (DI) is about to get bigger?
This always was a bit of a mess working to the Cabinet Offices's Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) across so many departments, stand alone organisations and budgets.

PS. While we're at it, we could have back MI7 (the BBC) and sort out that bunch of clowns - then we could return them to impartiality and stop things like 'the TV political debates' and nonsense like the current 'Clarkson-gate' going on. We might even get them to report the right manning figures for FF2020 in their online articles?
