| | Home Secretary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Secretary of State for the Home Department, known as the Home Secretary, is the chief United Kingdom government minister responsible for law and order (except in Scotland). | | | The position of Home Secretary is considered one of the great offices of state. | | | Although there have been calls for the merger of this department with the Home Office, in June 2003 the government announced that it intended instead to abolish the office of Lord Chancellor and replace his department with a Department for Constitutional Affairs headed by a Secretary of State. |

| | Blair stood firmly by the former home secretary throughout the visa row, and after his resignation told press he was "a truly outstanding Cabinet minister" who was leaving "with his integrity intact." | | | This ruling by Britain's highest court is of enormous consequence not only for the government's entire conduct of the "war on terror" but also for a home secretary eager to prove he can follow in Blunkett's footsteps. | | | However, this could be potentially be an awkward maneuver for a government who has built the last three years of its policy on being tough on terror, and for a home secretary who wants to prove he can continue in the mould Blair values so much. |
