In 2016 the Chamber was involved in setting up the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Portugal, when it was asked to be the Group’s Public Enquiry Point.
The purpose of the APPG is to increase awareness amongst members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords about the political situation in Portugal; and to encourage political, trade and business relations between the UK and Portugal. Post Brexit, the APPG plays a vital role in connecting leading Portuguese companies with British politicians and senior British business people who have an interest in Portugal.
Since 2016 the Chamber has organised an annual programme of events at the British Parliament. These have included Summer Receptions sponsored by our Corporate members, and small and select private lunches inside the Houses of Parliament to enable senior members of the Chamber to meet members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords who have an interest in Portugal.
