** UPDATE: Please note that Parliament has now been dissolved, prior the UK general election on 4 July 2024. During this period, the APPG on Immigration Detention ceases to exist and will be re-established in the next parliament.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Immigration Detention brings together over 40 parliamentarians from across the political spectrum who share concerns about the use of immigration detention in the UK.
The group aims to raise awareness within Parliament about immigration detention and its impacts. It offers MPs and Peers opportunities to debate issues with relevant experts from outside Parliament, including people with lived experience of detention, as well as lawyers, medical professionals, academics and representatives from non-profit organisations.
Using the information gathered through its work, the APPG advocates for evidence-based reforms to immigration detention policy, and for the welfare of detainees.
