	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).
		Because the Home Office was initially the primary government department with responsibility for domestic affairs, all subsequent domestic departments have effectively been created by taking responsibilities from the Home Office, leaving in addition to law and order a variety of miscellaneous tasks that have not yet been allocated to a government minister.
		Consequently Home Secretaries can find themselves dealing with matters as diverse as wild birds in Scotland and which towns in England and Wales are entitled to call themselves cities.

		He also ruled that the home secretary had failed to take into account changes in the political climate in Syria that, it was argued, meant Hindawi no longer posed a risk.
		But in April 2003 the home secretary said the reports did not demonstrate that he had "victim empathy", sufficient insight into the causes of his offending, or strategies to prevent further offending.
		After his case was sent to the parole board "in error" and rejected, the home secretary refused to release him in May 2003.

	I join the Home Secretary in...: 25 Feb 2002: House of Commons debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)
		I join the Home Secretary in condemning the criminal activity that occurred in the centre and thanking and paying tribute to the public servants, particularly the fire and police services, who came to do their work immediately, without thought for their own safety.
		The Home Secretary said that he wanted to review allocation between centres, and I agree that that seems to be necessary.
		Does the Home Secretary accept that there is a clear psychological difference between those who are in the process of putting their case, and are therefore far less likely to prove troublesome and try to find ways of escaping, and those who have already had their last opportunity to appeal?

		These included that the Home Secretary had used his Government chauffeur to drive Mrs Quinn to his Derbyshire weekend home, had given her first-class parliamentary rail warrants and had, on one occasion, ordered a policeman to stand outside Mrs Quinn's Mayfair home.
		Home Office sources indicated that the chairman, who is expected to be named today, would not be connected to the department.

		The Home Secretary made the argument that the amendments made by the Lords to part 10 would have the effect of restricting the powers of the Ministry of Defence and British Transport police more than was the case before the Bill was introduced.
		The Home Secretary did not rehearse the history, which is well known to him, of how we came to this set of amendments on part 13.
		The Home Secretary is right to say that I have argued in public that that could have meant that the European arrest warrant was adopted by those means.

		The Home Secretary should at least give an undertaking not only that he will monitor them but that he may be prepared to withdraw them after listening carefully to powerful speeches made in the other place.
		The Home Secretary should think back to one of his predecessors in that high office of state who, appalled by dreadful incidents of savagery by certain dogs, rushed legislation through the House.
		I urge the Home Secretary once more to be prepared to be the big man I know he is and say at the very least that he will not only monitor and reflect on but if necessary withdraw these measures.

		Anderson is challenging the home secretary's power to fix tariffs - or minimum periods of detention - for murderers, arguing that the decision should be up to judges, not politicians.
		But subsequent home secretaries fixed her minimum tariff, first at 30 years and then at "whole life", meaning she is one of 23 prisoners who have been told they will never be released.
		In recent years the home secretary has already lost the ability to intervene in the sentencing of juveniles convicted of murder following a ruling from the European court of human rights in Strasbourg on an appeal by the killers of James Bulger.

	Punishment for murder should reflect the crime says Home Secretary
		Home Secretary David Blunkett today re-stated his commitment to upholding new principles for setting murder tariffs - ensuring those convicted of murder receive a punishment that reflects the unique nature and seriousness of the crime.
		The Home Secretary was formally responding to two sets of draft guidelines published by the independent Sentencing Guidelines Council (SGC) for consultation.
		However, the Home Secretary said he believed the guideline should include separate recommendations for considering guilty pleas in murder cases to reflect both the special nature of mandatory life tariffs and the heinous and unique nature of the crime.

		The organizations consider that the Home Secretary has used an unfair procedure to determine Senator Pinochet's mental condition and to reach his preliminary decision that Senator Pinochet is unfit to be tried and therefore should not be extradited.
		The Home Secretary has acknowledged that in considering whether Senator Pinochet should be extradited he is acting in a "quasi-judicial" role.
		The Home Secretary's final decision should be subject to sufficient delay, consistent with domestic and international legal standards on detention, to permit the requesting states and other interested parties to seek judicial review of that decision while Senator Pinochet remains subject to the jurisdiction of United Kingdom courts.

		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.
		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."

		As I have indicated, it cannot be suggested that the Bichard Inquiry Report, which was before the Home Secretary, could not justify his coming to that conclusion.
		The only question is whether the Home Secretary validly came to the conclusion he did, which is that he considered it necessary for the maintenance of public confidence in the force in question for the Chief Constable to be suspended, by applying the test stipulated by Parliament.

	Remember-Chile - News - Secret negotiations got the Home Secretary off the extradition hook
		According to Home Office sources, Jack Straw was unhappy about the arrest of Pinochet in October 1998, but decided to stand by his obligation to Spain under the European extradition convention, and resisted pressure from both the Foreign Office and the Ministry of Defence, who warned of trade and diplomatic problems with Chile.
		The report by Jonathan Sumption, QC, counsel for Home Secretary, charted the various avenues open to Mr Straw and stressed his discretionary power to refuse extradition even in the face of opposition by Spain, the country seeking to try the general on charges of human rights abuse.
		That would enable the Home Secretary to ask the general to undergo further tests.
