Cabinet Office Minister (): This Government's commitment
to working in genuine partnership with the devolved governments
is demonstrated by the frequency and consistency of our
engagement.
This is essential to tackle our shared challenges and build a
United Kingdom that works for everyone.
Between October and December 2025, UK Government ministers held
112 meetings with their counterparts in Edinburgh, Cardiff and
Belfast, across formal intergovernmental structures and direct
bilateral engagement.
This level of engagement was in line with the same period in
2024, demonstrating the steady and frequent nature of UK
Government ministerial engagement with devolved government
counterparts.
Beyond formal forums such as the British-Irish Council and the
Interministerial Standing Committee, ministers and their devolved
counterparts met across a wide range of policy areas - from
health inequalities, public safety, election security, digital
innovation in justice, and violence against women and girls. This
breadth of engagement demonstrates that collaborative working is
now embedded across government.
This pattern of engagement reflects a clear principle: that the
most effective solutions for people across the United Kingdom are
found when governments work together, drawing on the knowledge
and priorities of each government.
The publication of this dashboard demonstrates this government's
continued commitment to the devolution settlements and genuine
partnership with the devolved governments - working together to
deliver for people in every part of the United Kingdom.
Amendment to previous dashboard publications: We
have made minor amendments to previous publications following
updates from departments, with these changes outlined clearly
within the relevant quarters on the dashboard itself.
