But transparency will make much more difference than yet another quango. 但是透明化比设立又一个半官方委员会更能起到立竿见影的效果。

However, the quango has been criticised for being too close to government. 然而，这个政府的特殊法人被批评太过亲近政府。

And history suggests that quango culls are more for talking about than carrying out anyway. 历史也证明，精简准非政府组织只是口头工作而已。

And when the problem, whatever it is, is yesterday's news, the quango remains, for fear that abolishing it would reanimate the issue, or provoke claims of heartlessness. 尽管事情已经过去了，但是准非政府组织担心，一旦废除这个办公室，又会引起争吵。

With few objective standards for charitable status spelled out, many schools suspect a stealthy Labour government of getting a quango to do its dirty work. 由于慈善机构地位客观的标准鲜有披露，很多学校担心，工党会秘密地找一个半官方机构代它做不光彩的勾当。
