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

The Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards does not hold Income and Expenditure Statements agreed to by APPGs. They are either published on a group’s website (if the group has one) or made available on request.

When an APPG has been dissolved, it is the responsibility of the Chair to keep Income and Expenditure Statements for at least five years from the end of the period to which they refer. This is consistent with the Paragraph 8 of Appendix 4 of the Guide to the APPG rules which sets out the requirements for APPGs when they are dissolved at a General Election.
