The Joint Intelligence Committee is part of the Cabinet Office, whose website states that it is "responsible for providing Ministers and senior officials with co-ordinated interdepartmental intelligence assessments on a range of issues of immediate and long-term importance to national interests, primarily in the fields of security, defence and foreign affairs."[1]
The JIC's members are 'senior officials in the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Ministry of Defence (including the Chief of Defence Intelligence), Home Office, Department of Trade and Industry, Department for International Development, Treasury and Cabinet Office, the Heads of the three intelligence Agencies and the Chief of the Assessments Staff. Other Departments attend as necessary.'[2]
The JIC 'is supported by the Assessments Staff, which consists of a range of analytical staff seconded from various departments, services and disciplines.'[3]
The Assessments Staff 'works closely' with the intelligence agencies and other government departments. Its draft assessments are 'subject to formal interdepartmental scrutiny in Current Intelligence Groups, which bring together experts from a range of government departments and the Agencies.'[4]
The post of Professional Head of Intelligence Analysis was established within the the Cabinet Office in 2005, as part of the Government's response to Lord Butler's Review of Intelligence on Weapons of Mass Destruction.[5]
The JIC (through the Assessments Staff) and the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre 'both play an important role in analysing and assessing international terrorism. JTAC sets threat levels and issues timely threat warnings as well as more in-depth reports on trends, terrorist networks and capabilities for a wide range of customers. JIC assessments of terrorism are more strategic and place JTAC assessments in a broader geopolitical context for Ministers and senior officials.'[6]
