The All-Party Parliamentary Pro-Life Group exists to provide a forum within Parliament for the promotion of the sanctity of human life from conception until natural death. We place particular emphasis on issues such as abortion, embryo research and euthanasia.

The Group is truly cross-party, comprising members of all three main political parties united in the core belief - the protection of human life from conception until natural death.

The current Officers of the Group are listed below. With the help of the pro-life movement in the UK the Group's Officers, Members and Staff work tirelessly within Parliament to promote this vital cause. Their work encompasses raising relevant issues within both the House of Commons and House of Lords, convening regular meetings within Parliament and producing reports and briefing material on Government policy and legislation.

Patron of the Group

His Excellency Mr. Anthony Bailey, KHS, KCMCO, KCFO, Delegate for Great Britain and Ireland of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St George.
