What does Joint Committee mean?

A committee consisting of members of two or more authorities established for the joint discharge of any functions of those authorities in accordance with the Local Government Act 1972, s 101.

A joint committee may also discharge its functions by a committee, sub-committee or an officer of one of the authorities. Functional enactments have effect subject to all necessary modifications in respect of their application and the areas in which they are to be discharged. Joint committee arrangements cease to have effect in relation to any particular function if that becomes the responsibility of an authority's executive.

In light of COVID-19 developments and associated guidance on social distancing, UK and EU negotiating teams involved in the talks on the future relationship and Withdrawal Agreement implementation are not meeting in person in accordance with the original terms of reference, but they remain in regular contact to find alternative ways of continuing the discussions. Both the EU chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, and UK chief negotiator, David Frost, have been in isolation due to COVID-19 and were reported to have not met since the first round of talks.

The government has repeatedly restated its commitment to the current transition timetable and insists...
