ALSO KNOWN AS Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs), Quangos can be defined as bodies that are either entirely or partly financed by government departments, and which act with a large degree of independence from government. Sometimes they are entirely self-financed by their activities but come under the jurisdiction of a particular government department. There are four main types of quangos: ƒ Executive; ƒ Advisory; ƒ Tribunal; and ƒ the Boards of Visitors. Executive NDPBs are established in statute and may have powers to fine, regulate and control their own budget. Advisory NDPBs are usually set up to investigate and build up knowledge of specialist subjects for Ministers to consult on. Tribunal NDPBs have jurisdiction in a specialised field of law. Finally, Boards of Visitors exist as overseers of the prison system. This Guide focuses on Executive and Advisory Quangos (which account for about four-fifths of all NDPBs) and is essentially a directory of information, providing data on one of the least debated and least understood areas of government. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Britain’s civil service and NDPB employees for their response to our initial survey on NDPBs. Their participation shows two important points. First, there is huge demand amongst those in the Quango industry for this information to be made available on a comparative basis. This information will therefore be continually updated and made available on the Efficiency In Government website (wwww.eig.ercouncil.org). Secondly, there is a great deal of public spirit and civic duty alive and well in the civil service. Much effort was made by civil servants to provide details of the work of the bodies that they serve. Their co- operation has made this publication possible. Regrettably however, a few NDPBs chose not to respond to the survey. This is disappointing as they were asked no more than they would be expected to provide under the Freedom of Information Act. We have listed those non-participants in Appendix B.

Dan Lewis Director – Efficiency In Government February 2004 CHAPTER ONE

MAIN FINDINGS

Duplication of Effort An entrepreneurial civil servant, a skilled lobbyist with developed government connections or a Minister with an agenda may choose to set up a quango. Unlike in the private sector however, there is no cut and thrust of competition to weed out weaker players. As a result, a substantial number of NDPBs duplicates each other’s efforts.

Energy quangos The Energy Savings Trust and the Carbon Trust have overlapping agendas (both seek to prevent the UK’s contribution to global warming by reducing CO2 emissions and promoting renewable energy). Their combined annual budget is £130 million – a sum that could provide 12 million boiler jackets to the UK’s homes with a payback period of just six months. The duplication of effort and objectives of the two quangos is likely to raise the cost of policy implementation for the taxpayer.

Environment quangos Britain’s leading executive environment bodies are the Countryside Agency, English Nature and the Environment Agency. To quote Public Bodies 2003 the Countryside Agency “aims to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the countryside…” while English Nature “promotes the conservation of English Wildlife” and the Environment Agency seeks to “protect and improve the environment in England and Wales”. It is not obvious why these three public bodies with many interests in common should not be merged and rationalised.

Tourist quangos A record 12.5 million tourists visted Britain in the first six months of 2004. Tourism is Britain’s sixth largest industry, contributing £76 billion in 2002 and employing the equivalent of 6.1% of the working population. But how many of these tourists came to the United Kingdom because of the activities of: The British Tourist Authority? English Tourism Council? Northern Ireland Tourist Board? Visit Scotland? Wales Tourist Board? Would the numbers be much different if they weren’t there? Isn’t this a function that could be better promoted by a private sector business on a voluntary basis? At the very most, wouldn’t just one smaller tax-funded quango suffice?

1 THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO BRITISH QUANGOS 2005

Sport Quangos The UK has had a good Olympics in Athens receiving 30 medals in total. UK Sport, Sport Scotland, Sports Council for Wales, Sports Council for Northern Ireland and Sport England no doubt feel that they played an important role in this. But involving the state more and more financially in Sport to boost our national image suggests considerable lack of self- confidence. Britain is not yet Australia or even East Germany. Surely one sports quango for the United Kingdom should be enough?

The 10 most costly NDPBs Annual Budget Medical Research Council £414,770,000 Western Health and Social Services Board £438,500,000 Southern Health and Social Services Board £466,000,000 Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council £497,000,000 Scottish Further Education Funding Council £500,000,000 National Council for Education and Training in Wales £500,000,000 Teacher Training Agency £514,634,000 Northern Health and Social Services Board £550,000,000 Scottish Higher Education Funding Council £800,000,000 Legal Service Commission £2,100,000,000

The 9 most useless quangos British Potato Council (BPC) The BPC is a statutory levy body that charges potato growers and consumers to fund research and promote overseas markets. That such a body exists with a full complement of 60 staff due to government legislation in 1997 is surprising. If such an organisation was necessary, it should be voluntary. Few British potato consumers would feel that their life was blighted if the BPC were to disappear. The BPC is now under a second statutory review with all levy payers entitled to a vote on its existence. Milk Development Council (MDC) In a similar vein the MDC which was set up in 1995 is financed by a levy on British Dairy Farms. It raises £7.5 million a year and employs 43 staff. Why shouldn’t Britain’s struggling dairy farmers be given the option of contributing or not to what is effectively a nationalised lobby? Energy Savings Trust (EST) Set up under John Major after the Rio Summit, the EST now has an annual budget of £80 million. Yet it is far from clear that the value of energy it saves exceeds its costs. Its programmes include a 50% subsidy for the world’s most expensive renewable – solar energy. Even with this subsidy, the payback period is 30 years which is probably beyond the lifetime of the module itself. A more efficient way would be to use the £80 million to buy 8 million boiler jackets for UK homes. With a payback period of six months, this would be a far more useful way to save energy.

2 MAIN FINDINGS

Agricultural Wages Committees The Agricultural Wages Committee, the Agricultural Wages Board for England and Wales, the Agricultural Wages Board for Northern Ireland and the Scottish Agricultural Wages Board all exist to set a minimum wage and working conditions for the UK’s farm workers. All of these are financed by a statutory levy on farmers. It is widely thought that non-compliance with minimum wages runs highest in the agricultural industry and it seems absurd to levy extra costs on the UK’s farmers, many of whom may not pay any attention when there is a plentiful supply of immigrants ready to work for as little as £1 an hour. Britain’s farmers will not be helped by raising the costs of doing business. Wine Standards Board (WSB) With only a small domestic industry to defend, the WSB’s defined role is to maintain the UK Vinyards Register, record the annual production and harvest returns and to enforce EU wine regulations. The Westminster Foundation for Democracy A nationalised Foreign Office think tank with 11 employees, set up “to assist the development of pluralistic democratic institutions overseas”. While it may be in the national interest to promote pluralist democracy abroad, it is questionable whether the Foreign Office is the best qualified to achieve it. Football Licensing Authority If a football team can afford to pay £27 million for Wayne Rooney, why should the taxpayer – not all of whom like football – be forced to fund the Football Licensing Authority to the tune of £1.1 million a year? Investors in People UK (IIP) This body, with a budget of £5.2 million and 40 employees, gives a clear indication of the producer bias of the existing government. Investors in Customers would be far more appealing. No matter, both private companies and publicly funded outfits – even schools are persuaded that they need the approval of the Investors in People, so that they can then put the stamp of IIP on their letterhead. It is of dubious benefit to the private sector, although it has slowly become more of a criterion for big companies to demand of their small company suppliers. It requires an annual inspection and is now even expected of time-pressed headmasters in schools. IIP is devaluing quickly as more and more sign up to it. It would be better to scrap it altogether. Economic and Social Research Council Another nationalised think tank with a budget of £91 million and 111 employees. Although staffed by some brilliant people, they would contribute far more to the private sector of think tanks, that have always produced far more, with much less.

Number of quangos created since 1997 Appendix A lists 111 of the quangos that have been set up since 1997. Some of these such as the Natural History Museum already existed before this government made them public bodies. However, it does appear that the government is preferring to create quangos (as opposed to the civil service) to act as the agent of government policy. It is not clear that this is efficient.

4 MAIN FINDINGS

The regional quangos The recent no vote in the referendum on a regional assembly for the North East indicated a lack of popular enthusiasm for regional government. It is unlikely that the scale of funding – of £1.8 billion a year – for the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) would increase enthusiasm for regional government.

Scotland and Wales – do quangos equal self-rule? One of the first actions of the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly was to bring under their jurisdiction an enormous number of quangos and to appoint some new ones to boot. Scotland now has some 70 under the Scottish Executive and Wales now has around 20, which are known as Assembly-Sponsored Public Bodies. Many of these were successor public bodies or mirror functions to UK public bodies. It is far from clear that the devolvement of Public Bodies has achieved any degree of financial efficiency for the British Taxpayer. Is this what a move to self-rule is about?

5 CHAPTER TWO

POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

Statutory five year limit on Executive Quangos A sunset clause would be of huge benefit and would focus the minds of those working inside such a body, or indeed those proposing them, on achieving outcomes. A new Act of Parliament should be enacted to require both new and existing quangos to renew their mandate. This would help to remove public bodies which are no longer relevant. Transparent funding arrangements for Advisory Quangos In conducting this survey, many Advisory NDPBs wrote that they receive no funding and have no employees. Later it transpired that they have indirect financial assistance secretarial support from the civil service. Although many who work for Advisory Quangos do so on a voluntary basis, they incur expenses and these are not shown in annual accounts. This needs to change. A Statutory limit on the number of quangos per department Many NDPBs duplicate each others functions. In addition, the diversity of different agendas within these bodies has often made them tax-funded lobbies that act in their own interest rather than the national one. Democracy for Levy-funded Bodies All bodies who charge a compulsory levy on producers should be required to renew their remit through a vote of producers every five years. If the producers do not want the body, then it should be disbanded. A Public Enquiry into RDAs and other Regional Public Bodies Funding for RDAs totals over £1.8 billion. Yet there is no assessment of the return from such funding. This should be monitored far more closely. Quango Levies When a quango imposes a compulsory levy on producers, this is a form of taxation without representation These should in future be subject to control by the Audit Commission. Levies on those subject to them should not be instituted or passed merely at the behest at the behest of the Director of a Quango. Crowding Out Appraisal The Which? Magazines and consumer reports are a good example of how a public service can be provided by a privately funded charity. Started in 1957 by the Consumers Association, Which? provides publications, legal advice and research to the benefit of the British consumer and at no cost to the taxpayer. Before the creation of a new public body, there should therefore be a proper assessment of whether its work would be crowding out a nascent or existing privately financed lobby or charity. As quangos are generally better and more regularly financed, this is a legitimate concern for lobbyists and charity workers who enjoy their independence from government.
