Retrieved March 2011</ref> ('''APPG''') is a grouping in the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|British Parliament]] that is made up of politicians from all [[political party|political parties]]. If a parliament consists of both a [[lower house]] and an [[upper house]], all-party parliamentary groups can usually include members of both houses. In the British Parliament, for example, APPGs include members of the [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]] and the [[House of Lords]]. In the British Parliament, an '''associate parliamentary group''' is similar to an all-party parliamentary group except that it is made up of not only members of the House of Commons or Lords but can also include members from outside Parliament. ==References== {{reflist}} {{politics-stub}} [[Category:Political organisations in the United Kingdom]] [[Category:Parliament of the United Kingdom]]
