Industry Strategic Partners
APPG
All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups in the UK Parliament composed of Members of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region, or country. While they have no official status within Parliament, APPGs play a significant role in facilitating dialogue and understanding on various issues by bringing together parliamentarians and external stakeholders, including experts, charities, and interest groups. These groups often organize meetings, inquiries, and events to raise awareness and influence policy development. However, concerns have been raised about their transparency and regulation, leading to ongoing discussions about enhancing oversight to prevent undue influence from external entities.
