Election of Officers

Wes Streeting and Lilian Greenwood proposed and seconded the re-election of John Mann MP as Chair of the APPG. He was elected unopposed.

John Mann thanked all the members and officers for the previous parliament and committed to writing to thank members that had stepped down or lost their seats at the election.

It was proposed that all remaining officers be re-elected. Mike Freer and Stuart Andrew are no longer able to serve as officers owing to their promotion to government positions.
