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 with an interest in seeing alcohol-related harm reduced in the UK.
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 May UK general election. [2]
