This process was colloquially termed the "bonfire of the quangos". During the 1980s, Bleakley sat as a non-partisan member of various quangos. NDPBs are commonly referred to as quangos. They are also commonly known as Quangos. Numerous quangos were created from the 1980s onwards. Government Quangos such as SEEDA, SEERA and GOSE are headquartered in Guildford. Since coming to power they have reduced the overall number of quangos by 17. Members are appointed by central government and hence they are considered QUANGOs. The Institute proposed that QUANGOs be reduced in number and subject to increased scrutiny. QUANGOs were subsequently cut by 20 percent and put under parliamentary review.
