The
Centre for Policy Studies
The Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) is one of Britain's best

coherent and practical public policy, to roll back the state,
reform public services, support communities, and challenge
threats to Britain's independence.
The
Economic Research Council

oldest economics-based think tank, founded in 1943, which
has historically concentrated on monetary practice. Today
