Section 4 of the Armed Forces Act of 2011, which came into force on 4 June 2014, places statutory duty on the HMIC (Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary) to inspect and report to the sectary of defense on the effectiveness of the inspections carried out on the Royal Navy Police, Royal Military Police and the Royal Air Force Police. This is to ensure that the rules are being followed and they aren't being bent or abused by the police. The first set of inspections were looking at the leadership and organisation of the Police Forces it mainly focused on the arrangements rather than day to day life.
The second set of inspections was to study the day to day life of armed service police personnel. Specifically how they investigated the death of service personnel overseas.
Overall they assessed different aspects of each branch and how they tackled the jobs they had. They would look at how the information was given out by the leaders and how successful it was when reaching the personnel. It then looked at how the task was tackled and if they followed the correct procedures with each job, for example, the HMIC examined the support provided to bereaved families following the deaths of loved ones overseas.

A + B) Levels of Government in order of authority and power.

European Parliament

Central Government

Devolved Parliament

Regional Government

Local Authorities

European Parliament is based in Brussels and has 751 members elected in 28 different states. The members are voted in every 5 years. The European Parliament was created to manage economic corporations and makes decisions on environment, equal opportunities, transport, human rights and movement of workers and goods.

Central Government is made up of 3 parts which include the monarch (Queen Elizabeth ii), the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The Central Governments role is to sign treaties or agreements with other nations, such as the ongoing negotiation with the EU regarding Brexit, making laws and legislation and defending the nation. It is based in Westminster in London.

Devolved Parliaments are made up of 3 sections Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Devolution means to pass government powers to a lower-level elected body. The Scottish Devolved Parliament was established in 1998 and has 129 representatives and is self-contained. The Northern Ireland Devolved Parliament was again establish in 1998 and has 108 members and is based in Stormont.  These were all created by the central government transferring power to these much smaller governments because they have more of a grasp on what is the best polices and strategies for their country.

Regional Governments were abolished in March 2010 due to their costs were too high for the job that they were doing. Their aim was to reduce bureaucracy from central government and transfer power to the councils and communities. However, they are still vital in order to understand fully how the levels of government work.

Each regional government had 4 main roles:

-          Regional Planning which was to monitor, develop and review

-          Regional Housing which was to provide recommendations for priorities

-          Policy Development which was to provide a voice for each region and tweak polices to fit their specific needs.

-          Accountability which was to monitor the development agencies

There were 8 main regions and these were:

-          East

-          North East

-          South East

-          West Midlands

-          East Midlands

-          South West

-          North West

-          Yorkshire and Humbler

Local Authorities are at the bottom of the hierarchy with the least power. There are multiple types of local authorities and they are County Councils, District Areas, Parish, Metropolitan and Unitary authorities.

The County Councils are responsible for education, emergency planning, highways and traffic, libraries, planning and development, public transport, refuse disposal, social services and trading standards because these are much larger councils than the all the rest so have more complicated roles. Several districts make up a county council and they are responsible for registration of births, deaths and marriages, cemeteries and crematoria. Education, environment, housing, recreation and amenities, tax and council tax collection. Finally, a Parish is a single village or a part of a town that’s makes up a district. Its roles are Street lighting, local transport, allotments, cemeteries, war memorials, seating and shelters, rights of way and tourist information centres. They are allocated these jobs because they are the smallest councils made up of local public meaning they do not have much power compared to a district.

The Metropolitan district focuses within a very large city such as London or Manchester. An Unitary authority is a city that is large enough to need its own local authority dealing with just that city.
