If something akin to ministerial responsibility should apply to a function then it should be overseen by a minister who then takes responsibility

In afraid your wildly over estimating the UK’s capacities on this front
Also for a start even if the uk really want the most capable intelligence state, the UK’s intelligence capacity is inextricably linked to the US & the US is completely compromised
