Concordats

The Cabinet Office's concordats with the Scottish Administration [External website] and with the Cabinet of the National Assembly for Wales [External website] were published on Thursday 11 November 1999. They aim to establish agreed frameworks for co-operation between the Cabinet Office and the devolved Administrations, in accordance with the principles set out in the Memorandum of Understanding between the UK Government and the devolved Administrations.
