The Home Office's main functions are the collation of statistical returns, the issuing of circulars publicising the effects of new legislation or policy and the fixing of salaries in cases of disagreement.
Coroners are appointed by county councils (and until 1972 by county boroughs) but the Home Office receives notice of all new appointments and it works in conjunction with the Lord Chancellor's Department in disciplining coroners and in regulating procedures at inquests and post-mortems.
