With a cross-party membership of MPs and Peers, the group’s mission is to provide a continued opportunity for evidence-based political debate about the challenges and opportunities relating to contemporary migration flows in the UK.
Key activities undertaken by the APPG on Migration include regular cross-party meetings in parliament on immigration issues, as well as in different regions of the UK with key parliamentarians and other stakeholders. The APPG produces regular briefing papers to support debate, as well as making the latest reports on key topics available to members.
The APPG is co-chaired by David Simmonds, MP for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner and Olivia Blake MP for Sheffield, Hallam.
The secretariat of the APPG on Migration is the RAMP Project. The APPG is in the register of All-Party Groups.
