The APPG brings together parliamentarians, industry experts and civil society to explore policies to improve digital inclusion with the aim to close the digital divide in the UK. The APPG is committed to finding and amplifying ways to enhance access to data and devices and improve digital skills.

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.

Both text content and attached files submitted through this facility is indexed by our website, and made available through both the search function and relevant e-mail alerts.
