Gaps in Support All Party Parliamentary Group is the largest APPG in history. Our membership of MPs covers all political parties and parts of the UK. We aim to find solutions for those who have been excluded from Government Support Schemes during the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as ensure that lessons are learned to improve the UK Government’s response in the future. 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. APPG on Gaps in Support is made up of 261 MPs. The APPG’s membership draws MPs from every political party in Parliament and from every nation of the United Kingdom. Our Parliamentary members work together to find solutions, gather evidence and make recommendations to the UK Government. The Chair and Officers of the Group are:
Jamie Stone MP, Liberal Democrats - Chair
Sir Jeffery Donaldson MP, DUP - Co-Chair
Alison Thewliss MP, SNP - Co-Chair
Tracy Brabin MP, Labour (Co-Op) - Co-Chair
Caroline Lucas MP, Green - Co-Chair
William Wragg MP, Conservative - Co-Chair
Virendra Sharma MP, Labour - Treasurer
Stephen Farry MP, Alliance - Secretary
