Triennial Review of Export Guarantees Advisory Council
UK Export Finance is conducting a review of the Export Guarantees Advisory Council (EGAC). As part of this review, it is inviting representations from interested parties.
The review was announced by Lord Green in a written ministerial statement on 9 October. It forms part of the government’s commitment on public bodies reform to review at least once every three years the role, functions and operations of public bodies. It will be conducted in line with Cabinet Office guidelines.
UK Export Finance intends to conclude the review by the end of 2013. To meet this timetable, interested parties wishing to make representations should submit these by 12 November.
Contributions are particularly invited from parties that have had contact with EGAC in recent years, principally non-governmental organisations and trade bodies.

Review questions- Is the existing function of EGAC still required?
- How should the function be best delivered?
- Does EGAC benefit from the advantages of being an arms-length body, such as having the ability to act independently to establish facts and to be politically impartial?
- How well is EGAC delivering its function?
- What other possible delivery options are there for EGAC’s function?
