  Reid 'will lead anti-terror department'

Plans to split the Home Office and make John Reid, the Home Secretary, 
head of terrorism and security are being "actively considered" by Tony 
Blair.

He is expected to give the go-ahead early next month for the radical 
shake-up of Mr Reid's department which would see him given control over 
security, policing and counter terrorism.

Responsibilities for prisons and probation would go to the Department 
for Constitutional Affairs headed by Lord Falconer in what would be a 
Continental-style ministry of justice as his department is already 
responsible for the courts.

Mr Reid has run into opposition within Whitehall.

MI6, the secret intelligence service, is reportedly unhappy that it will 
report to Mr Reid and not Margaret Beckett, the Foreign Secretary.

Mr Reid has argued that the fight against terrorism will be better 
co-ordinated if both MI6 and MI5, the domestic side, are in the same 
department.
