APPG

This is not an official website of Parliament. It has not been approved by either House. APPGs are informal groups of Parliamentarians with a common interest in particular issues. The views expressed are those of the group.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Rural Services is a cross party Group of MP’s from rural constituencies that come together around 4 times a year to promote debate on the provision of rural services and to issue periodic reports.
It comprises MPs and Lords and the Derek Thomas MP is the Chair of the APPG for Rural Services.
The register entry for the group can be viewed here.

The Rural Services Network established this Group and provides all the secretariat services.

The APPG is helpful to organisations providing rural services giving them the opportunity to put their issues and ideas directly to MP’s who pass the information on to Ministers.  This Group has recently been helpful in getting the Government to re-consider the funding formula for Local Government and has its own Rural Fair Share campaign website 

You can view a copy of the Members and Observers List for the APPG here
