All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal cross-party interests groups. They have no official status within the House of Commons, and run by and for Members of the Commons and Lords.

I am a member of several All-Party groups, and they reflect my political interests as well as issues important to my constituents in Manchester Gorton. I am particularly interested in the Muslim world, poverty and deprivation, the environment, and issues of race, equality and faith.
