The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Alcohol Harm was established 'to promote discussion of alcohol related issues and to raise issues of concern and make recommendations to government and other policy makers.' [1]

The APPGAH is made up of cross-party MPs and peers sitting in the House of Lords who wish to see alcohol related harm in the UK reduced.

The group has recently launched their 2015 manifesto, which called upon political parties to commit to a range of pledges designed to tackle alcohol related harm leading up to the UK general election of May that year. [2]
