The All Party Parliamentary Party Group on Spinal Cord Injury

The All Party Parliamentary Group on Spinal Cord Injury (APPG) was launched in the Houses Of Parliament in April 2008.

The APPG, which includes representation from both Houses of Parliament and across all three main political parties, provides a national focus for promoting services and support for spinal cord injured people.

This group will make a major impact on issues affecting people with SCI.

Early Day Motions

They are used for reasons such as publicising the views of individual MPs, drawing attention to specific events or campaigns, and demonstrating the extent of parliamentary support for a particular cause or point of view.

Below is a list of the early day motions that may be of interest to you. You can look at the full list of EDMs here
