Descrizione:

Hundreds of public bodies are to be reviewed in a bid to cut spending and give ministers more decision-making powers.

Cabinet Office Minister Pat McFadden has written to government departments asking them to justify the existence of every taxpayer-funded organisation not directly controlled by ministers.

Some of these organisations, known as quangos, could be closed, merged, or have their responsibilities handed over to departments.

The BBC has been told ministers are considering passing a new law that would make it easier to scrap multiple quangos at once.
