Good question... for those Yanks in the audience not familiar with what Lady Pi Phi said, MI5 is the equivalent of our FBI while MI6 is the equivalent of the CIA (and that's who James Bond works for).

MI1 through 4 were British military intelligence offices established during WW II which were later absorbed into MI5 and MI6. I think they also had an MI7 through MI11 as well.
