Advisor to Tony Blair

Birt was brought into Number 10 to lead the development of long-term strategy for the government on key areas of public policy. Tony Blair asked him to produce a report on solutions to crime, and he served as advisor on Criminal Justice from 2000–2001. The establishment of the Serious Organised Crime Agency was an idea originally conceived by Birt.[1]
