The Group is founded by MPs and Peers who want to promote and support the UK cider industry, whilst exploring key questions for the future of cider making, exporting UK cider, apples, perry pears, orcharding and biodiversity within cider apple orchards.
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.
