Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will report on the recent activities of the Joint Ministerial Committee.
Answer
On 19 September 2012, the First Minister and I attended a meeting of the Joint Ministerial Committee (Plenary) (JMC(P))in London. The JMC(P) was also attended by the UK Government, the Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Executive. It was chaired by the Prime Minister. We discussed the current economic situation and the UK Government’s draft aviation policy.
We also agreed revisions to the Memorandum of Understanding between the UK Government and the Devolved Administrations.
I am placing a copy of the 2011-12 annual report agreed by the Joint Ministerial Committee in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib. number 54343).
