The PM made the demand ahead of his planned 'intervention' on Thursday, at which he is expected to further outline plans for a 'rewiring of the British state'.
In March 2025, Keir Starmer instructed ministers to take responsibility for decisions instead of outsourcing them. However, critics point out that Starmer's government created 25 new quangos in its first six months, including Great British Energy and Border Security Command. The government defended its actions by stating a need to reform the state and end the practice of outsourcing decisions.
