Centre for Policy Studies

The Centre for Policy Studies believes in freedom and responsibility. One of Britains best known and most respected think tanks, the CPS develops and promotes policies to limit the role of the state, to encourage enterprise and to enable the institutions of society such as families and voluntary organizations - to flourish. The CPS was founded by Sir Keith Joseph and Margaret Thatcher in 1974 to promote the principles of a free society and has since played a global role in the dissemination of free market economics. Its role in developing the policies of privatisation, low-tax government and support for the family, is recognised across the world. Independent of all political parties and special interest groups, the Centre is a non-profit-making organisation which relies on the donations of individuals and companies to carry out its work
