The APPG provides a forum to constructively examine and debate the role that policy-makers can play to deliver gender balance within the economy.
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.
