The agency responsible for counter-intelligence and domestic security in the United Kingdom is commonly known to the public as MI5. According to Bob Howard who does know better,
"As anyone in the business knows, MI5 was renamed DI5 about thirty years ago... DI5 is helpfully misnamed in order to direct freedom of information requests to the wrong address."[1]
It occupies a brand new modern office building on the banks of the Thames that Laundry personnel refer disparagingly to as The Dustbin.
