Policy Connect is a British cross-party think tank that was founded in 1995 by Labour MP Barry Sheerman. The organization is primarily known for running all-party parliamentary groups.
Leadership
[edit | edit source]Sheerman is the current Chair of the Board of Policy Connect, and Chris White was formerly the Vice-Chair. Both have been also Co-Chairs of the All-Party Parliamentary Manufacturing Group.[1]
