Article title

Shouldn't this be moved to Intelligence and Security Select Committee?

No - it's a committee appointed by the PM and reporting directly to him, not a select committee reporting to parliament. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.153.219.170 (talk • contribs) 04:45, 30 March 2006

I've reworked the page to reflect the ISC's new status (since the Justice and Security Act 2013) as a committee of parliament. Therefore:

I've removed the 'government agency' infobox.
I've retained only an abbreviated mention of its history.
I haven't adjusted the paragraph about the committee's independent secretariat, though I imagine this is now out of date.
I've reordered the names of the membership to match the list on the ISC's web pages.

There may be other matters of detail which I've missed. NormanGray (talk) 11:39, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Moved the article to the Committee's official title of Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament post the Justice and Security Act 2013, per the ISC's website. Whizz40 (talk) 15:17, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overview of British intelligence - new article

I have created a United Kingdom intelligence community page where we can address the broad issues, such as the relative scope of MI5 and MI6 (as mentioned above). Starting with the list of key agencies shown at the global List of intelligence agencies. It should provide an appropriate place to deal with some of the ambiguities that the present atomised articles fail to cover well.
