'Shock' for taxpayers as 1,400 quango bosses paid six-figure salaries

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Quangos are "quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations" or bodies to which ministers have devolved power but for which they do not take responsibility.
50% : "But beyond the healthy remuneration, arguably the bigger problem is that in many areas of government policy these quango bosses reign supreme, with minimal ministerial or parliamentary oversight despite the often highly sensitive and significant nature of what their organisation is responsible for. "The Government may have signalled an intent to get a grip of the quango state but as well as restoring political accountability there needs to be serious review of some of the functions they perform.
36% : As part of his war on Whitehall waste, Sir Keir Starmer pledged to cut red rape and needless government spending by reducing the number of regulations and advisory bodies in the UK.
