💚 Help keep TheyWorkForYou free and independent

For over 20 years, TheyWorkForYou has been making our democracy more transparent and our politicians more accountable.

We need your support to:

  • Hold Power to Account — We highlight what our representatives are doing so they know the public is watching.
  • Keep It Free and Accessible — No paywalls because everyone deserves unbiased information about decisions made on their behalf.
  • Innovate and Go Further — How politics works is always changing and we're always looking for new opportunites to improve things.

We don't want to wait for a better political system to be given to us – we want to work together to make it happen now.

Committees

In the UK Parliament, committees are groups of MPs or Peers who examine specific issues in more detail than can be done in debates.

Some committees focus on checking the government’s decisions and spending, while others investigate specific topics and proposed legislation.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs)

All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal cross-party groups made up of MPs and Peers who share an interest in a particular country or subject.

They do not have formal powers or funding, but can book rooms on the parliamentary estate and may receive funding from outside organisations and companies.

We source information on APPG memberships from lists on APPG websites or asking APPGs for unpublished lists. Please report any incorrect or outdated information.
