David Cameron is to bring his Cabinet north of the border later this year for a special meeting in Scotland.
The Prime Minister announced the move as he visited one of the main sites for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
He said bringing all his Cabinet team to Scotland would allow UK ministers to “take stock” of preparations for the sporting event next summer.
The UK Government is working closely with the Commonwealth Games organising committee, the Scottish Government, Glasgow City Council and others in the run-up to the event.
Mr Cameron said: “Later this year I’m going to be bringing the whole of the United Kingdom Government Cabinet to hold a Cabinet meeting in Scotland.
“I think that would be a good moment for the Cabinet as a whole to take stock of where we are with the games and anything else we can do to help the Scottish Government and the authorities around the Commonwealth Games to deliver a real success.”
Speaking during a visit to the Emirates Arena, Mr Cameron said: “I want to make sure both governments are doing everything they can to deliver a safe, successful and popular Commonwealth Games.”
The UK Government will also team up with the Scottish Government to host a special conference designed to maximise investment from the Commonwealth Games.
“One of the great opportunities of a games like the Commonwealth Games, as was the case with the Olympic Games, is to build legacy,” the Prime Minister said.
“With the Olympic Games we did achieve billions and billions of pounds of inward investment because we used it as a window on to the United Kingdom. This is going to be a great window on to Scotland.”
Next year will also see the vote on the country’s future in the independence referendum, and Mr Cameron said that issue must be settled before any further devolution of powers to Holyrood could be considered.
