Parliament

We work closely with parliamentarians and assembly members to address the issues affecting our clients.

We prepare briefings for debates in the House of Commons, the House of Lords and the National Assembly for Wales.  

At a local level, Citizens Advice Bureaux help MPs and assembly members to understand the problems that their constituents are facing, and find practical solutions for individual cases.

Briefings

Based on client evidence, our briefings help MPs, peers and assembly members understand the impact of proposed legislation and allow them to adopt an informed position in parliamentary debates.

All party parliamentary groups

We organise two all party parliamentary groups (APPGs): one on Citizens Advice and one on Debt and personal finance. These give us another forum for raising issues of concern with interested parliamentarians.
