Definitions
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.
The leak came straight from the Home Department, and heads were already rolling by lunchtime.
