I am pleased to announce the publication of “Public Bodies 2018-19” and will today be placing a copy in the Library of both Houses.

Public bodies play a vital role in the delivery of public services for all our citizens, covering wide-ranging functions. Well-governed, effective and efficient public bodies enable the Government to deliver their priorities.

“Public Bodies 2018-19” is an annual directory that provides a single transparent source of top-level financial and non-financial data on all executive agencies,non- departmental public bodies and non-ministerial departments across government.
