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

It 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.

Its 2015 manifesto called upon political parties to commit to a range of pledges designed to tackle alcohol-related harm leading up to the May general election. [2]

Activities

  • to actively reduce alcohol-related harm in the UK
  • to promote the discussion of alcohol-related issues, raise matters of concern and to make recommendations to government and inform policy

Areas and issues

  • advertising and young people
  • drink driving
  • alcohol and the armed forces
  • licensing and treatment services [2]

Secretariat

Alcohol Concern (a charity) acts as the group's secretariat with the assistance of a grant paid by Lundbeck Ltd for this work. [3]

Alcohol Concern is a small independent charity focusing on reducing harm from alcohol-related issues, working throughout England and Wales to inform the public of the dangers of alcohol abuse and to bring about varied and effective treatment services. [4]
