Following a recent vote in Parliament, new rules for All Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) have been agree by the House of Commons.
The new rules, which come into effect on 1st October 2023, have been put in place to improve transparency and reduce the risk of foreign influence.
The APPG for Events, which acts as the UK events industry’s official voice in Parliament, and which has been established since 2011, has confirmed that it will continue to operate under the new regulations.
At its official Annual General Meeting, held on Tuesday 29th March 2022, the All Party Parliamentary Group for Events (APPG) re-elected the Rt Hon Theresa Villiers MP, Member of Parliament for Chipping Barnet, as its Chair.
