The Deputy Prime Minister (Mr Nick Clegg)
I am today announcing the start of the triennial review of the Boundary Commissions for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Triennial reviews of non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) are part of the Government’s commitment to ensuring that NDPBs continue to have regular challenge on their remit and governance arrangements.
The review will be undertaken by the Cabinet Office.
In common with all such reviews the following will be undertaken:
to provide assurance on the continuing need for these NDPBs—both their functions and form; and
to review their control and governance arrangements to ensure that they are complying with recognised principles of good corporate governance.
The aim will be to complete the review in the summer.
