Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC)

 
     
  This committee sits at the apex of the British intelligence community. It serves as both its manager and the means by which intelligence from all sources is pooled and weighed to provide the most objective and complete assessment of the most important targets. In the last role it is assisted by the assessments staff of the Cabinet Office; it reports directly to the Cabinet Secretary. The core membership of the JIC consists of the heads of the intelligence agencies, together with senior officials from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Ministry of Defence and the Treasury. It is usually chaired by an FCO official.
