East of England APPG

First Registered: 20/12/2017 • Last updated on: 18/06/2025

To bring together East of England's MPs and Peers with elected local council leaders, directly elected mayors and police, crime and fire commissioners – as well as senior representatives from the private and third sectors - to give a strong political voice for policies which support the East of England's economy and environment and promote its potential as a place to work, study, live, visit and invest.

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.
