All Party Parliamentary Groups

An All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) consists of Members of both Houses who join together to pursue a particular topic or interest.
APPGs cover a diverse range of subjects and are established for a rich variety of purposes. They provide a valuable opportunity for parliamentarians to engage with individuals and organisations outside Parliament who share an interest in the subject matter of their Group. Ellie is a member of several APPGs and an officer of four.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Water Pollution aims to promote understanding of the causes of, impacts of and solutions to water pollution, and to facilitate cross-party parliamentary action to tackle water pollution.  Ellie is the Chair of this group.

The purpose of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Europe is to promote informed debate and dialogue among parliamentarians on the UK’s evolving relationship with Europe, including the European Union
institutions and its Member States, and to develop constructive recommendations that strengthen cooperation in areas of mutual interest and benefit.  Ellie is a Vice Chair of this group.

Ellie is also a Vice Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections, the purpose of which is to enhance the integrity of UK democracy by: replacing First Past the Post with a proportional electoral system; eliminating dark money and undemocratic influence from politics; countering disinformation in public discourse. The APPG’s goal is to deliver clean and fair elections where all votes count.

The All-Party Parliamentary Human Rights Group seeks to raise the profile of international human rights issues within Parliament and to investigate and publicise human rights abuses occurring.  Ellie is an Officer of this APPG.
