The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the answer of 10 April 2025 to Question HL6032 on Arms Length Bodies, what the status is of those Arm's Length Bodies.

Answered by Anna Turley

The bodies listed in the answer of 10 April 2025 to Question HL6032 are being reviewed in line with the government's ongoing comprehensive review of the arm’s length bodies (ALB) landscape, which aims to reduce duplication, improve efficiency and Ministerial accountability. The status of proposed ALBs is dynamic, and individual departments are responsible for progressing their proposals.
