Interministerial Standing Committee
In the United Kingdom, the Interministerial Standing Committee (IMSC; cy, Y Pwyllgor Sefydlog Rhyngweinidogol) is a coordination body among the UK Government and devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, established in 2022 following a series of reviews. The Prime Minister and Heads of Devolved Governments Council is the corresponding body in which the heads of these administrations meet. There are also portfolio-specific interministerial groups affiliated to the IMSC. From 1999 to 2022, its predecessor the Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC; cy, Y Cyd-bwyllgor Gweinidogion), established by memorandums of understanding, served a similar purpose.

Devolved Administration
Devolution is the statutory delegation of powers from the central government of a sovereign state to govern at a subnational level, such as a regional or local level. It is a form of administrative decentralization. Devolved territories have the power to make legislation relevant to the area, thus granting them a higher level of autonomy. Devolution differs from federalism in that the devolved powers of the subnational authority may be temporary and are reversible, ultimately residing with the central government. Thus, the state remains ''de jure'' unitary. Legislation creating devolved parliaments or assemblies can be repealed or amended by central government in the same way as any statute. In federal systems, by contrast, sub-unit government is guaranteed in the constitution, so the powers of the sub-units cannot be withdrawn unilaterally by the central government (i.e. not through the process of constitutional amendment). The sub-units therefore have a lower degree of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
