All-Party Parliamentary Groups

All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party collaborations in the UK Parliament where MPs and Lords come together to discuss specific issues, such as health, education, or environmental concerns. These groups are not part of the official parliamentary structure but serve to promote dialogue, share information, and influence policy. APPGs often engage with external stakeholders, including charities and businesses, to gather insights and advocate for particular interests. They can play a significant role in highlighting issues, raising awareness, and shaping public policy through their discussions and recommendations.
