UK security services
In the United Kingdom, the umbrella term security services refers to the UK government agencies collectively responsible for espionage, counterespionage, counterterrorism and other covert activities.
This typically means:
- Security Service, more commonly known as MI5
- Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), more commonly known as MI6
- Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)
Some people also count Special Branch and the Metropolitan Police Anti-Terrorist Branch as part of the security services.
