Tamils APPG

First Registered: 30/07/2015 • Last updated on: 20/11/2024

The APPG for Tamils brings together parliamentarians who wish to promote peace with justice and dignity for Tamils in the Island of Sri Lanka and advance their development so as to recognise their legitimate socio-political aspirations.

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.
