Responsibility for the Big Lottery Fund will move from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and be placed under the Cabinet Office according to a leaked government document on the BBC News website.

It follows the news in The Telegraph this morning that the Commission for the Compact, Capacitybuilders and the Office for Civil Society Advisory Group will be scrapped by the coalition as part of its quango review.

This afternoon, the BBC News website has published a list, dated 26 August 2010, of quangos and other public bodies to be axed, merged or retained by the coalition government.

The document says that the Commission for the Compact, Capacitybuilders and the Office for Civil Society Advisory Group are to be axed, while the Charity Commission will be retained.

The Big Lottery Fund is to be placed under the Cabinet Office, while the Theatre Trust,  Schools Food Trust and British Waterways will be abolished as NDPBs and turned into charities.

The Alcohol Education and Research Council, which is still under review, could also be turned into a charity under the shake-up.

However, many arts and culture charities which are partly-funded by government still remain under review, according to the document. The list includes the British Museum, the Imperial War Museum, the Tate Gallery and Historic Royal Palaces.

The document also includes a letter from the Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude to deputy prime minister Nick Clegg outlining the proposals. To view the document click here.
