The relationship between the UK and Scottish Governments inquiry

Inquiry


The Scottish Affairs Committee is investigating the relationship between the UK and Scottish governments.

In particular, the Committee is interested in looking at the following questions:

  • What machinery currently exists to support intergovernmental relations between the UK and Scottish governments?
  • How effective has the UK’s intergovernmental machinery been in managing and mitigating disputes? How might this be improved?
  • Is there a need for greater transparency of intergovernmental relations, and if so, how should be achieved?
  • How have the UK’s intergovernmental relations systems evolved and adapted to respond to different administrations?
  • What lessons can be learned from how other nations manage relations between different levels of government?
  • What new machinery might be necessary post-Brexit, particularly in relation to the creation of common UK frameworks, and how should they operate?
