They have no official status in Parliament, are cross-party and usually contain members from both the House of Commons and House of Lords.<\/p>\n<p>APPGs focus on a very specific issue \u2013 either a country or a subject. As a result, <strong>MPs and Lords usually form or join groups whose focus they are very passionate about<\/strong>. This also allows charities, campaign groups and other non-governmental organisations to become more involved in the policy-making process. They often provide a secretariat to run the APPG\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike House of Commons Select Committees, APPGs do not directly shadow the work of government departments. They will generally <strong>be considered effective when they\u00a0influence debate\u00a0and\u00a0change government policy<\/strong>, which due to their informal nature, varies hugely. It can depend on how regularly they meet, who they engage with, <strong>the quality of any inquiries and reports they produce<\/strong> and whether their focus is of interest to the Government of the day.<\/p>\n<p>As of January 2019, there were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/mps-lords-and-offices\/standards-and-financial-interests\/parliamentary-commissioner-for-standards\/registers-of-interests\/register-of-all-party-party-parliamentary-groups\/registers-published-in-2019\/\">692 APPGs<\/a>.

This summarises your research, the policy changes you recommend and why it\u2019s relevant to these specific policy-makers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attend meetings: <\/strong>APPG meetings are free to attend but you may have to register in advance. Contact the secretariat to see if it may be useful for you to speak on your research findings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Host visits: <\/strong>APPGs often organise visits to teach members about various issues. It may be worth inviting an APPG\u2019s members to Imperial to see your research first hand.
