(UK GOVERNMENT) British [intelligence] agency. Under the Home Secretary (w/in the British Cabinet), along with MI-6 and Government [Communications] Headquarters (GCHQ). A few points: MI-5 can be written MI5. It differs from MI-6 (or MI6) in that MI-5 houses one group of specialized functions, and MI-6 houses another group. Both were founded in 1909 to supervise existing agencies of the Admiralty and the War Office. MI-5 tended to specialize in counterespionage on UK soil, but it also carried out espionage against trade union officials and Labour [politicians] in the UK. Since the end of the Cold War it has focused on counterterrorism activities.
