Policy Exchange is a British centre-right think tank, created in 2002 and based in London. ''The Daily Telegraph'' has described it as "the largest, but also the most influential think tank on the right". Policy Exchange has been addressed by members of the Labour Governments of Tony Blair (1997-2007) and Gordon Brown (2007-2010), such as John Hutton, Peter Mandelson, Alan Milburn, David Lammy, Frank Field, Jim Murphy and Andrew Adonis, and by members of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition Government of David Cameron (2010-2015), such as Chris Skidmore, Charlotte Leslie and Jesse Norman, as well as by many non party-political figures. The ''New Statesman'' named it as David Cameron's "favourite think tank",〔()〕 a view shared by the Political Editor of the ''Evening Standard'' Joe Murphy, who referred to it as "the intellectual boot camp of the Tory modernisers’". Its alumni include Anthony Browne, one of London Mayor Boris Johnson’s policy directors, and a number of the Conservative 2010 intake of MPs, including Nick Boles, Jesse Norman, Chris Skidmore and Charlotte Leslie.〔()〕〔()〕 It describes itself as seeking localist, volunteer and free market solutions to public policy problems, with research programmes covering health, education, energy and environment, crime and justice, welfare, housing policy, family policy and security.
