Public Bodies

As of March 2019, 295 public bodies were in operation across the UK government. Most public bodies within the United Kingdom are established and operated by the government, with varying levels of autonomy and ministerial responsibility according to their classification.

A number of new public bodies are also being created to manage additional responsibilities after EU exit.
