This would have the effect of stressing which part of the UK a body is based in, or applies to. This might reduce the occurrence of misdirected requests arising as a result of similarly named bodies in different parts of the UK.

Arguments against is that

so-far we've not used categories in this way, so this use might be surprising.
we don't have a big problem with misdirected requests arising as a result of similarly named bodies in different parts of the UK.

I like this idea. Could also create one for United Kingdom for national authorities.
