Unelected body (6)
I believe the answer is:
quango
'unelected body' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for quango that I've seen before include "Government-sponsored administrative body outside the civil service" , "Semi-public official body" , "Political/bureaucratic group" , "Semi-public body outside the Civil Service" , "Board with members appointed by government" .)
