Simon Kirby – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Simon Kirby on 2014-05-01.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many quangos have been abolished since 2010; and if he will make a statement.

Mr Nick Hurd

The Government has already reduced the number of public bodies by over 280. 185 bodies have been abolished.

This is the largest restructuring of public bodies in a generation, making the landscape smaller, more accountable and transparent, and offering better value for money to the public.
