Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 May 2025

Debate

Arm’s-length Bodies

Contribution

My Lords, the Government are reviewing all arm’s-length bodies, with a presumption that they will be closed or merged or have functions returned to government departments unless justified. The review supports the Government’s plan to create a more productive and agile state, exemplified by NHS England’s abolition. The review on ALBs is ongoing and will determine which bodies will undergo closure or merging or be reintegrated into their sponsoring department.
