Smart Cities All-Party Parliamentary Group
The Smart Cities All-Party Parliamentary Group (SCAPPG) was formed in September 2014 'to engage parliamentarians who share an interest in how the digital revolution can benefit our cities and how the UK can take the lead in seizing a substantial share of the international 'smart cities' market.'[1]
As an All-Party Parliamentary Group, the SCAPPG receives no taxpayer funding, but is instead funded by subscription s from Associate members, sponsorship arrangements or a combination of these. There is no membership charge for trade associations, local authorities, non-profits, environmental and consumer groups or academics.
Secretariat
The SCAPPG's secretariat is Bellenden, an independent public affairs agency. The agency supports the Chair and Officers of the group in carrying out activities by managing meetings and events, as well as day to day administrative matters. [2]
