The Committee's previous report on quangos (HC209, 1998-99) proposed the need for a comprehensive map of government and the organisations which carry out functions on its behalf. It was seen as a step to bringing some clarity and consistency and help the Government's aim of making public bodies more open and accountable. This report makes a contribution to the mapping exercise. The first presents the different types of public bodies and their number. It counts 297 executive non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs), 536 advisory NDPBs, 303 task forces, 297 appointed governance under devolved administrations and 5338 local bodies. In the second part it analyses how accountable and open the bodies are and the progress that has been made since 1997. Quangos are a permanent part of government but they have just grown, and the Committee thinks there is an urgent need of a review of their principles and practice.
