When it works, it really works

APPG 2000 to 2009

The Autism Act, the first disability-specific law in England

The APPG on Autism was founded in 2000 by campaigners and MPs who wanted Parliament to pay attention to autistic people. Over nearly a decade of sustained pressure, evidence gathering and cross-party collaboration, they helped bring about the Autism Act 2009, the first ever piece of disability-specific legislation in England. It requires Government to publish and fund an autism strategy, backed by statutory guidance for the NHS and local authorities.

Started by campaigners and MPs, not the Government

Committee 2022 to 2024

Gambling reform, the biggest change since 2005

The Culture, Media and Sport Committee launched an inquiry in December 2022 after the Government repeatedly delayed promised gambling reforms. The committee took evidence from people harmed by gambling, industry experts and researchers, and scrutinised the Government publicly. The result was the Gambling White Paper and the most significant reform of gambling regulation in nearly 20 years, including new financial risk checks to protect people from harm, implemented from 2024.

Evidence from people with lived experience of gambling harm was central

Committee 2024 to 2025

Holding Government to account on autism, 16 years on

The House of Lords Autism Act Committee reviewed how well the 2009 Act had been delivering for autistic people. The findings were stark: over 200,000 people waiting for an autism assessment, only 3 in 10 autistic people in work, and a Government strategy that had over-promised and under-delivered. The committee publicly named what was going wrong and demanded urgent action, forcing the Government to respond formally and setting the agenda for the next autism strategy due in 2026.

Autistic people and families gave evidence directly to the committee
