Home Department is the informal British shorthand for the Home Office, the UK government ministry responsible for immigration, policing, and national security. While technically a formal label, journalists, civil servants, and political commentators use it freely as a quick synonym to avoid repeating 'the Home Office' constantly. You'll spot it in news headlines and political discussions whenever immigration policy or law enforcement is being debated.
