Public Bodies 2018-19

My honourable friend the Minister for the Constitution (Chloe Smith) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement:

I am pleased to announce the publication of Public Bodies 2018-19 and will today be placing a copy in the library of both Houses.

Public Bodies play a vital role in the delivery of public services for all our citizens, covering wide-ranging functions. Well-governed, effective and efficient public bodies enable government to deliver its priorities.

Public Bodies 2018-19 is an annual directory that provides a single transparent source of top-level financial and non-financial data on all executive agencies, non-departmental public bodies and non-ministerial departments across government.
