The Committee investigated how the UK Government and the devolved administrations in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland interact. The main forum for these relations is the Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC). The report labels the communiquas published after plenary JMC meetings between the leadership of each administration bland and uninformative . The Committee states that the dates, venues and agenda items of JMC meetings should be announced further in advance and additional information should be published after the meetings. The Committee makes recommendations to enable greater parliamentary scrutiny of inter-governmental relations, including stating that government departments should detail in their annual reports their engagement with the devolved administrations.
