Our work in the Westminster parliament
Whether it's campaigning for vital benefits, extending disabled people's rights against discrimination or increasing access to TV and information, work in parliament plays a key role.
We work with MPs and Peers to influence Bills going through parliament, raise questions and debates, and hold government Ministers to account.
RNIB and the College of Optometrists also provide the Secretariat support for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Eye Health and Visual Impairment. This is an influential group of MPs and Peers from across the political parties who meet regularly in Westminster to hear expert speakers and discuss topical issues relating to eye health and visual impairment.
Information for MPs
We want to work with members of parliament in both houses where we can to stand up for the rights of blind and partially sighted people in the UK.
Our e-politix site contains briefings and information specifically targetted at members of parliament and their offices.
