Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to evaluate arm's-length bodies; whether quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations will be subject to such evaluations; and if so, against what criteria they will be evaluated.

Independent public body reviews are one of our most effective levers to drive improvement and ensure public bodies deliver value for the taxpayer.The Cabinet Office guidance on the undertaking and requirements for reviews of public bodies is published on gov.uk, and was last updated in April 2024.
