Thank you for the replies, Peter and Bobby!

I stayed away from Evaluate[] because it only works on the outermost
level, i.e. Function[{c}, Evaluate[a] + Evaluate[b] + c] will not
work.  In some cases it is not possible to evaluate the complete body
of a function.

Here is a somewhat artificial example:

Module[{a, b}, a = 1; b = a + 1; Function[{x}, a + b + # & /@ x]]
