Forms for APPGs

Inaugural Meeting

• After a General Election, before a group can operate in the new Parliament it must first hold an Inaugural Meeting to elect its officers then register the outcome by completing the Registration Form for APPGs (docx, 91KB). The form explains how to hold the Inaugural Meeting and register the outcome. These requirements apply equally to groups that existed in the last parliament and groups that did not.

AGM (Annual General Meeting)

• After a General Election, a group’s first AGM of the new Parliament can only be held once a year has elapsed from the date of its Inaugural Meeting of the new Parliament.
• To register the result of an AGM a group must complete the Registering the Result of an AGM Form (docx, 63KB)   
• DO NOT USE THIS FORM TO REGISTER AN INAUGURAL MEETING OR EGM

EGM (Extraordinary General Meeting)

After a General Election, and after a group has held its Inaugural Meeting of a the new parliament and registered the outcome, the group may at some point find that it needs to hold an EGM to deal with something that would normally be addressed at the group's AGM but cannot wait till then (eg the replacement of an officer who has resigned).

• There is no form to register EGMs.
• To register the outcome of an EGM simply email groupsregister@parliament.uk stating the date of the EGM and any changes required to the group's entry on the Register as a result of the EGM.

Income and Expenditure Statement

Instances when a group must complete an Income and Expenditure Statement (docx, 56KB) (even if it is a ‘nil return’) are:

• for the group’s AGM
• if the group chooses to disband
• when all APPGs cease to exist due to Parliament being dissolved for a General Election
