Asked

Innovation and Technology, if he will take steps to reduce the number of arm’s-length bodies sponsored by his Department.

Reply

Arm’s Length Bodies should operate efficiently and should only exist where necessary. The Department operates a review programme and a number of DSIT's ALBs are subject to review every year. These reviews consider the continuing necessity of the ALB. New ALBs are only established when all other delivery mechanisms have been exhausted and are subject to approval by HM Treasury.
