What's a directorate?

Why this isn't just a list of departments

"Directorate" covers parliamentary offices, the political parties, contractors, and the SPCB's own structures. Underneath each one sit the day-to-day offices — and the same office name (like "MSP") shows up under more than one parent.

143 offices total 124 distinct office names
