16. Mrs. Ellman

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what plans he has to ensure the accountability of non-elected appointees to public bodies. [90887]

All board members of non-departmental public bodies are accountable through Ministers to Parliament. The Government are implementing a range of measures to strengthen accountability which were set out in "Quangos: Opening the Doors", copies of which are in the Libraries of the House.
