Most useless quango?

[edit]

The grounds for this claim are rather flimsy:

  • The Sunday Times article is based on the ratings giving by a now-defunct political blog.
  • £60k per year of government funding really is a negligible amount of Treasury cash.

→I saw this comment after adding the most useless quango reference back in. The report that cited this was produced to look at efficiency savings and policy recommendations for UK Quangos. It was co-sponsored by the Centre for Policy Studies and the Economic Research Unit, so I would argue its recommendations carried weight. So much so that they were merged a couple of years later in a cull of Quangos which affected a lot of these types of organisations across Government at the time. This is an interesting part of this, and other, Quango's history. LastOneHome (talk) 18:50, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
