it's not a quango, end of.
And the direction of travel has got Goldsmiths et al all over it.
Dear Janet might agree with it, or she not....she is tasked with doing a job.
whether or not the job is doable? As they say.... 'now you're asking the right questions'
If it is not a quango involved perhaps you can explain who are Defra's delivery partners as Janet calls them?

✓As I was just saying to @delilah we are trying to strike a balance between providing enough options so that there's something for everyone, and keeping schemes as straightforward as possible.BrianV said:
Janet just so we are all aware & very clear who to blame if or when this all goes wrong is it yourself & Defra or your political leaders who are responsible for designing these schemes with as far as I can make out at least 250 different simplified options available?
In terms of accountability: Ministers are accountable for setting policy and making decisions, and are ultimately accountable to Parliament for their decisions; I'm the programme director and in that role I'm accountable, along with my colleagues in Defra and our delivery partners, for execution of the government's policy which in this case means delivering the reforms on time, to budget and with the desired outcomes.
