About the group

A cross-party voice in Westminster

The All Party Parliamentary Group on Third World Solidarity was established in the UK Parliament in 2005 under the chairmanship of Dave Anderson, MP for Blaydon. It was later led by Liz Twist MP and is now chaired by Mary Foy MP.

The group has support from all parties and works alongside Third World Solidarity to hold meetings, briefings and events on the issues that matter to communities across the Global South, including a 2020 House of Commons seminar on human rights in Kashmir.
