 Preparations Committees in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
 

On 9 June 2003, the Chancellor invited the Secretaries of State for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to establish new preparations committees. The role of each committee is to:

Oversee the work on euro preparations;
Raise awareness of preparations issues;
Ensure co-ordination and co-operation between key sectors;
Consult on the third outline National Changeover Plan; and
Feed back particular views and issues to the Chancellor's Standing Committee on Euro Preparations (the Secretaries of State for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are members of the Standing Committee).

The committees have a similar structure to the Standing Committee, with representatives from the public, private and voluntary sectors. Each committee is headed by the relevant Secretary of State.

Further information on the committees, minutes of meetings and membership can be found on the respective sites:
