Parliamentary Work
All-Party Parliamentary Groups are cross-party groups run by Members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords who come together to discuss and address a particular issue or policy area. Many APPGs meet with and work alongside experts and organisations from outside Parliament to address and draw attention to the topic at hand.
