Bonfire of the Quangos: Equality and Human Rights Commission to go?

The Daily Telegraph has published a leaked list of 177 quangos due to be abolished, which include a number of employment and training related quangos such as the the Union Modernisation Advisory Fund. A further 94 quangos remain "under review" and may be scrapped in the future. Perhaps the most notable of which, from an employment perspective, is the Equality and Human Rights Commission. 350 bodies escape the axe, including Acas and the UK Commission for Employment and Skills.
