Question

To ask the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, representing the House of Commons Commission, pursuant to the answer of 21 May 2026 to Question 2110 on All-Party Parliamentary Groups: Finance, whether there is a requirement for the income and expenditure statement of a dissolved APPG to be audited; and whether the chair of a dissolved APPG is obliged to make the Income and Expenditure Statement available on request to (a) Hon Members or (b) members of the public, after the APPG has been wound up.

The House of Commons Commission does not have responsibility for the APPG Rules.

Paragraph 8 of Appendix 4 of the Guide to the APPG Rules sets out the records that a Chair of an APPG must keep after a group has been disbanded. The Guide to the APPG Rules is silent on whether the Chair of a disbanded group is required to share those records.
