        History

        The Greater London Council (GLC) ran a Policy and Intelligence Programme with the aim of working to overcome the disadvantages faced by large numbers of Londoners. Policy Study Groups were created to identify the implications and possibilities of outline policies, and to propose ways in which policy objectives could be achieved. The Policy Unit was also responsible for identifying and acquiring statistical information relevant to local government functions. The collection of statistics and research set the overall context for the development and implementation of Council policies.

        The London Strategic Policy Unit was set up by nine London Boroughs in April 1986 to carry through some of the policy initiatives of the GLC following its abolition. For example, the Police Monitoring and Research Group continued the work of the GLC Police Committee Support Unit.
