APPG officer roles
All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal cross-party groups that have no official status within Parliament. They are run by and for Members of the Commons and Lords, though many choose to involve individuals and organisations from outside Parliament in their administration and activities.
Officer Roles are drawn from the latest edition of the Register of APPGs. To see the latest edition of the register, go to Published Register of APPGs.
Arbitrary Detention and Hostage Affairs
The APPG focuses on the arbitrary detention of British citizens abroad, and the taking of British citizens as hostages for leverage in State to State relations. The APPG coordinates parliamentary support for specific cases and builds on advocacy to appoint a Director within the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on Arbitrary Detention.
