Government departments Some departments, like the Ministry of Defence, cover the whole UK. Others don't – the Department for Work and Pensions doesn't cover Northern Ireland. This is because some aspects of government are devolved to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Non-ministerial departments are headed by senior civil servants and not ministers. They usually have a regulatory or inspection function like the Charity Commission. Executive agencies These are part of government departments and usually provide government services rather than decide policy - which is done by the department that oversees the agency. An example is the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (overseen by the Department for Transport). Other public bodies These have varying degrees of independence but are directly accountable to ministers. There are 4 types of non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs). Executive NDPBs do work for the government in specific areas - for example, the Environment Agency. Advisory NDPBs provide independent, expert advice to ministers - for example, the Committee on Standards in Public Life.
About the Law Library The Library of Congress is the nation's first established cultural institution and the largest library in the world, with millions of items including books, recordings, photographs, maps and manuscripts in its collections.

Congress established its Law Library in 1832, recognizing its need for ready access to authoritative legal materials. The Law Library has grown over the years to become the world's largest law library, with a collection of nearly three million volumes spanning the ages and covering virtually every jurisdiction in the world.

The main branch of the library sits at the rear of the Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, and is the last untouched part of that larger building's original incarnation after it burned down in 1916. The library has been augmented and renovated a number of times since its construction in 1876, the last between 2002 and 2006, though the form and decor remain essentially authentic. The building today serves as a Canadian icon, and appears on the obverse of the Canadian ten-dollar bill.

[6] The library's contents grew over the next five decades and were saved from the 1916 fire that destroyed the majority of the Centre Block; the building was only connected to the main complex by a single corridor and the library clerk at the time, Michael MacCormac, secured the library's iron doors before the fire could spread into that area. [2] Fire eventually broke out in 1952, in the library's cupola, and caused extensive damage through smoke and water. It was then necessary to perform structural work, as well as to install a replica of the inlaid parquet floor and dismantle the wood panelling and ship it to Montreal for cleaning and partial fireproofing. [8] The Centre, East, and West Blocks subsequently received extensive climate control and electrical upgrades, but the library was largely overlooked. The deficiencies, plus conservation, rehabilitation, and upgrading, were addressed when a major, $52 million renovation was researched in 1996 and undertaken between 2002 and 2006.
