Administrative / biographical background: |
E4 Division within the General Department was responsible for co-ordination of Home Office interest in international matters and for local Acts, private Bills and certain bye-laws. The unit obtained the views of interested divisions on policy and legislation proposed by other government departments when no one division had the major interest. In the early 1990s co-ordination on international matters was handled by A Division of the Criminal Justice and Constitutional Unit, while D Division of the general Department handled local and private Bills and bye-laws. On the establishment of the New Directorate structure in 1996, co-ordination became the responsibility of the Byelaws Unit and the Constitutional Unit of the Constitutional and Community Policy Directorate. |
