English definition: JMC
Welsh definition: The Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) is a set of committees that comprises ministers from the UK and devolved governments. The JMC system was created in 1999 at the start of devolution, and its terms of reference are set out in a Memorandum of Understanding agreed between the UK, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Prime Minister chairs the JMC in its plenary form with the devolved First Ministers. Additional ministers attend this plenary, according to the business on the agenda. There are also a number of sub-committees that meet to consider specific issues.
