Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 8 September 2026 to Question 20581, and with reference to the answer of 10 April 2025 to Question HL6032 on Arms Length Bodies, whether any of the proposed new bodies set out in the answer to Question HL6032 will no longer be taken forward.

The status of proposed new bodies listed in answer HL6032 remains dynamic as part of the government's ongoing arm's-length body (ALB) review.

Departments progress proposals under strict criteria, establishing new ALBs only by exception with overwhelming justification. While some bodies have progressed or been established (including Skills England and the Independent Football Regulator), others remain under departmental evaluation and review.
