Doing Tangos in the Quango

The BBC has published the list of quangos that the Government has decided it may or may not abolish, merge or devolve to other quangos.

Having seen the list I have a few suggestions:

Commissioner for the Compact: To explain what it means. Does it look after the rights of short people, perhaps?

West Northamptonshire Development Corporation: A contradiction in terms.

Herbal Medicines Advisory Committee: to be replaced with the advice "It's not a medicine. It's a herb". Which is much cheaper than the committee, in my advice.

Pensions Protection Fund Ombudsman and Pensions Ombudsman: to be asked to explain how they managed to pull these two nice little earners simultaneously for so long.

Food from Britain: replace with Food from Holland, which is cheaper and available out of season.

Cycling England: it is to be determined whether this is a quango or a sponsored event.

Royal Mint Advisory Committee on the Design of Coins, Medals, Seals and Decorations: to be replaced with the Arts Lesson of Class 2C of Watling School, Dunstable.

Young People's Learning Agency: functions to be replaced with "schools"
