Girl formed policy (8)
I believe the answer is:
madeline
'girl' is the definition.
(girl's name)
'formed policy' is the wordplay.
'formed' becomes 'made' ('make' can be a synonym of 'form').
'policy' becomes 'line' (I've seen this before).
'made'+'line'='MADELINE'
(Another definition for madeline that I've seen is " Woman".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
