On the danish thread, Iversen and I had an interesting discussion about the names of the ministry who are for the home affairs. I want to make a nice list of all the names in the different languages, and see for which things this ministries have responsibility. I hope that you will add more. You can write in the language of your choise. Denmark Indenrigsminister: Der er ikke nogen indlandsminister og heller ikke nogen udlandsminister. Der er en indenrigsminister (med ansvar bl.a. for politiet) og en udenrigsminister. (Iversen quoted by kuikentje) Great Britain The Home Office (HO) or Home Department. Responsible for: immigration, security, and law and order (police, UK Visas and Immigration, and the Security Service (MI5). drugs, counter-terrorism, and ID cards. It was formerly responsible for the Prison Service and Probation Service, but these have transferred to the Ministry of Justice. (Wikipedia quoted by kuikentje)
