Global Quangos Uncovered: British taxpayers funding international bodies

British politicians have for many years talked about a ‘bonfire of the quangos’.

Whether or not they’ve managed to get that bonfire going, it has meant there has been a reasonable focus and discussion of what quangos do, who works for them and how much taxpayers’ money they spend.

The same can’t be said for the web of global quangos that exert increasing influence on the lives of British taxpayers. People have largely never heard of them; that includes those who ought to hold them to account on our behalf, i.e. journalists and politicians.

The scale of the problem was recently laid bare when TPA research revealed how international organisations such as the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees and International Organization For Migration, which have actively campaigned against the government's efforts to crack down on illegal immigration, had received £1.5 BILLION of British taxpayers' money in recent years.

The WHO, the UN’s ECOSOC and IOM, the OECD, the IMF; the alphabet soup of global quangos grow more dominant, place burdens on domestic governance, and absorb more taxpayers’ cash.

It’s time to shine a light on them, and let British taxpayers know what they do, how much they cost and how they interfere in our policymaking.
