Scotland Yard is more commonly known these days as the Metropolitan Police, or the Met, who per the name handle policing in the London metropolitan area, but they do also handle national tasks like counterterrorism and protection of the royals. They’re the closest thing to the FBI in the UK right now.
You are correct about that but they are not the only agency with such responsibilities. This “UK FBI.” Would be taking those responsibilities (at least the counter terrorism aspect.) from the Met and others and be doing it themselves.
So the Met police becomes focused on just London while nation wide matters is the FBI jurisdiction

Scotland Yard is a colloquialism. It’s always been the Metropolitan Police.
