The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 10 April 2025 to Question HL6032 on Arms Length Bodies, for what reason the Answer refers to 26 proposed public bodies.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Cabinet Office works closely with departments that are developing proposals for new arm's-length bodies (ALBs) and the list referenced in the answer on 10 April 2025 is the list of proposals which may end up going through the ALB approval process. Not all proposals will go forward or meet the requirements to successfully be established as an ALB.
