East Midlands APPG

First Registered: 14/03/2018 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

Taking advantage of the benefits of the devolution agenda, the East Midlands APPG intends to support a cross-party approach by MPs and Peers, to promote common priorities. and address challenges of growth, infrastructure, flood mitigation and investment.

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.
