Valuation Office / Placenames Commission

These two bodies are on the list of Gov't qunagos to be abolished, or are in the procees of being abolished

The article lists 45 that will be done away with, and 35 new ones that will be created. Scanning the list of new quangos, I can't see any obvious names where these two will be moved into. The Valuation Office surely has to be retained but maybe the Placenames Commission will be completely done away with?

Placesnames Commission into the "Single Council of Science and Humanities"?
Valuation Office into "Housing and Sustainable Communities Agency"?

Maybe the Valuation Office will be merged into the Rates Office for each county council?

Where will the records go, I wonder. Presumably the over-worked, underfunded National Archives.

If you google, there are various docs suggesting that the Valuation Office is to merge with the Property Registration Authority and OSI. Sounds logical if this is what is going ahead. Merger doesn't mean they stop carrying out their functions.

Correct.

The three are set to merge towards the end of this year.
