It would be interesting to see how this graph has changed for the last two years...

On quangos, although a small reduction has been recorded this can be put down to:

The statistical reduction in numbers has been
achieved through amalgamations, organisational reclassification and devolution
of responsibility for many bodies to the Scottish Executive and Welsh Assembly
(see HC 367, 2001, para. 8).Moreover, the expenditure of executive NDPBs has not
been significantly reduced…[it] remains at around 25 billion pounds per year –
around a third of central government expenditure. In addition, a number of new
organisations have been established without any formal classification and are
therefore not accounted for in any of the Government’s documents or
statistics
.
