Dr Tim Leunig has been a senior policy adviser to the secretary of state for environment food and rural affairs Michael Gove since 2017 and an expert adviser at the Department for Education (DfE) since 2018. [1]

Policy Exchange report

The Financial Times reported in 2008 on a report authored by Leunig:

Mr Cameron’s aides have joked that Policy Exchange was now his “least favourite think-tank” after it published a report suggesting towns such as Sunderland and Liverpool were “beyond saving” and that their residents should move south. The report was hugely embarrassing for the Tory leader. But it is a sign of these flexible ideological times that Tim Leunig, its author, turned out to be a prominent Liberal Democrat.[2]
