	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Wales \| Most quangos will go, says Morgan
		Meeting quango heads in Cardiff on Friday, the first minister said it would not be fair to delay the process beyond 2006 because a Welsh assembly election campaign would be under way the following year.
		Quangos - which stands for quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations - are semi-independent agencies of the assembly government.
		He added that this could delay the abolition of some of the quangos, as could the fact that some of them were protected by royal charter.

	Quango - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An essential feature of a Quango, in the original definition, was that it should not be formally part of the public sector.
		In the course of this process, attempts were made to derive the acryonym from longer terms which did not carry the presumption that the organisation in question was non-governmental.
		Similarly, the insertion of the word "autonomous" does not work in a descriptive sense: the main complaint about these organisations is that they have too much autonomy, rather than, as with the original term, that their apparent autonomy conceals a close relationship with government.

	Quando Quango biography at LTM
		Quando Quango always had a palpable intensity, leaving little shockwaves in the lives of its members, and in some of the people who listened to its music.
		The musicians embraced by it, their relationships with the music they dearly loved and with each other, all left an indelible imprint on the recordings that were the outcome of that edgy energy.
		Quando Quango may have made waves from New York's Paradise garage, and hit number four on the Billboard dance chart with Love Tempo, but the ripples took a long time to cross the pond.

	BBC NEWS \| Wales \| 'End of the quango state'
		The quangos were semi-independent agencies of the assembly government which operated as arm's-length executive bodies responsible to boards appointed by ministers.
		The assembly government said the aim behind the change is to streamline structures and processes, simplify decision making and make public services more flexible and responsive to the needs of businesses and learners.
		He said Welsh public life was suffering as a result of many important jobs being carried out by unelected people and suggested a 'bonfire of the quangos'.

	Scotsman.com News - Quango state - SNP will pledge to cull quangos and slash bureaucracy in next manifesto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A RADICAL plan to cull quangos and reduce bureaucracy in the public sector will be one of the key commitments in the Scottish National Party's 2007 election manifesto.
		Mr Swinney believes the reform plan, which has yet to go through the party's formal policy channels before it reaches the 2007 Holyrood manifesto, is a major opportunity for the SNP to steal a march on the Executive parties.
		Quangos likely to remain include bodies like Scottish Natural Heritage, a slimmed down Scottish Enterprise concentrating on national economic development and advisory boards like the Mental Welfare Commission.

		The term 'quasi-NGO' or 'quango' was coined as a mildly pejorative description of these hybrids.
		When economic reformers in Britain, and later in Australia, wanted to cut back the profusion of statutory authorities, they decided to appropriate the term to their own use.
		What is more interesting is that the process of economic reform is turning qangos (in the new sense) into quangos (in the old sense).
