SECTION 3(2) of the Immigration Act 1971 requires the Home Secretary to lay down Immigration Rules regulating “entry into and stay in the United Kingdom” by “persons required by this Act to have leave to enter”. The rules are glossed by voluminous, extra-statutory, internal guidance and Immigration Directorate Instructions (hereafter referred to as “guidance”) drawn up in the Home Office.

Abstract Responding to cases of ‘cuckooing’, where drug dealers take over other people’s homes, has become a significant policing activity in the United Kingdom. Drawing on ethnographic data and the deviancy amplification spiral model, this article theorizes how police responses to cuckooing emerged, developed and became established. Five stages of the spiral are outlined: identifying cuckooing as a problem; demonstrating a response; spreading the problem; making it other people’s problem too; the establishment of a policing priority. The article advances amplification theory by considering it from within the setting of the police and the contemporary drug supply context of County Lines. It concludes by stressing the importance of critically considering the dynamic relationship between the police and their drug market targets.

The Home Office in January 1977 invited submissions for inclusion in the United Kingdom proposals to the World Administrative Radio Conference 1979 (WARC 1979.) Prior to that, in August 1976 in Boston, U.S.A., the member Institutes of the International Association of Institutes of Navigation had agreed to exchange views on matters of concern to the world's navigational community which in particular might be considered by WARC. It was envisaged that any approach by the various national Institutes would be through their own administrations.

The four human bombs that perpetrated the 7/7 attacks were all British nationals. Three of them were born in the United Kingdom to Pakistani parents. The fourth was born in Jamaica and arrived in the U.K. at a very early age. Examination of the trajectory of these four jihadis highlights the importance of the “gang” or “clique” phenomenon analyzed by Marc Sageman.5 Unlike the September 11, 2001 hijackers, who had traveled from Asia to Europe and from Saudi Arabia to the United States through complex networks to prepare the most spectacular attacks so far this century, the young men who perpetrated the London bombings had organized locally. The British authorities immediately labeled them “homegrown terrorists.” “the Home Office returned the bodies and body parts to the families with dignity so that they could organize "normal" funeral services in keeping with the Muslim religion”.

Of great importance in the reconstruction program of the United Kingdom is the new ministry of health authorized by act of Parliament on June 3. At first sight it would seem that the local government board has merely changed its name. But this is not the whole truth. The new ministry is to become the one authority in all matters of health, taking over such duties from the home office with reference to factories and workshops, and from the education department, in regard to children at school. It will also assume, in England, the responsibilities of the national insurance commissioners under the legislation of 1911.
