First Registered: 30/07/2015 • Last updated on: 24/01/2024

To inform members of key issues relating to England's national parks (NPs), their authorities and areas that may merit NP status; to discuss issues of common concern; to advance the place of NPs in society within Parliament, focusing on conservation and enhancement, opportunities for public learning and enjoyment, and the well-being of NP communities.

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.
