What We Do
The Branch’s primary aims are to:

- facilitate suitable developmental opportunities for Branch Members, and Parliamentary Officials.
We do these by:
- holding events to promote the Assembly and celebrate the Commonwealth e.g annual Commonwealth Day events, forthcoming British Isles and Mediterreanean Region annual conference;
- proactively promoting the CPA and the Commonwealth through social media;
- participating in CPA training programmes and seminars for both parliamentarians and parliamentary staff;
- participating in knowledge exchange programmes and election monitoring missions to other Commonwealth countries;
- partnering with other CPA legislatures for an exchange of knowledge and best practice.
