Citizens' Rights APPG

First Registered: 23/03/2022 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The APPG aims to raise awareness of the challenges facing EU citizens in the UK and Britons abroad. We work cross-party to help secure immigration status and the rights set out under the Withdrawal Agreement after Brexit, and to improve voting rights and representation.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
