Cabinet Office: Public Bodies

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 2 March 2026UIN 113591

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many full time equivalent staff work on his Department's Public Bodies Team.

Answered by Anna Turley

The work on public bodies is taken forward by the Civil Service Strategy Unit, which comprises approximately 50 people. CSSU deploys its people flexibly across the government’s civil service reform priorities, including public bodies, rather than being a single standing Public Bodies Team. This facilitates join-up across the Productive and Agile State policy landscape and means the right policy, analytical and functional expertise can be deployed to an area when needed.
