Rules of Engagement - DerekBanks - 08-02-2011 03:50 AM
Somewhat surprised that Zaf & Adam were sent to Iran to initiate a bomb plot. Surely that sort of mission would be the sole perogotive of SIS. I thought that MI5 were limited to operate in the UK only.
I know this is a fictional program but does anybody know what the real-life rules are that govern MI5 operations?

I'm not sure it is as clear cut as anything overseas is beyond MI5's remit. The role of MI5 stated here https://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/what-we-do.html, seems to be quite general.

yeah the MI5 recruitment site says UK but i would wager if people they are watching leave the country they might go to or maby the do pass it to MI6
