:The EAU is part of the Home Office Analysis and Insight (HOAI) directorate and reports to the Director for Analysis and Insight. HOAI is part of the Home Office Crime, Policing and Fire Group (CPFG). The Home Secretary is accountable to Parliament for the work of the EAU.https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2019-01-14/HL12796
The move to the Home Office Analysis and Insight Directorate would appear to indicate that the EAU came under the auspices of the Homeland Security Group of the Home Office thus indicating that it had effectively become part of the British intelligence machinery.
