The quango cull was announced today. Quick headlines:
HCA – “Retain and substantially reform – smaller enabling and investment body working for local communities. Intend to devolve London functions to Mayor of London. Taking on regulation of social housing.”
Renewables Advisory Board – abolished
Sustainable Development Commission– under consideration
Committee on Climate Change – retained
Where the heck is is Energy Saving Trust?
The review didn’t cover “private bodies limited by guarantee” so CT and EST still await their fate.
