All-Party Parliamentary Group

An All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) is a collaborative forum within the UK Parliament where Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of the House of Lords from different political parties come together to discuss, promote, and address specific issues or causes. These groups are informal, voluntary, and not part of the official government or opposition, allowing for cross-party dialogue. They aim to raise awareness, share information, and influence policy on topics like health, education, or environment, fostering cooperation and informed debate among legislators across party lines.
