The All-Party Parliamentary Carbon Monoxide Group (APPCOG) is the leading forum for parliamentarians to discover, discuss and promote ways of tackling carbon monoxide poisoning in the UK. Through a busy programme of events and research, the Group seeks to push the vital issue of carbon monoxide safety up the political agenda, to improve government policy, to support research and to raise public awareness of the threat posed by carbon monoxide. The APPCOG draws on a wide range of stakeholders; working closely with leading figures in academia, the scientific and medical community, the civil service, Ofgem, industrial public bodies, gas distribution networks and those with direct experience, such as CO survivors, campaigners and charities. Policy Connect provides the secretariat for the APPCOG, which was formed in 2012. We are committed to ensuring our actions and funding are entirely transparent.

I was recently elected to be the new Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Carbon Monoxide Group (APPCOG).

I am excited to take over from Barry Sheerman, who has been a dedicated and passionate advocate for carbon monoxide safety during his tenure as the MP for Huddersfield. His contributions have been invaluable, and I look forward to building on his legacy.
