Recruit MPs to give them exposure in Parliament e.g. issues on HS2
Lords
No concern of reelection so able to focus on issues. Party of whip is weaker. Great number of crosss benders - cater to marginal issues. Greater amount of expertise and connections to groups outside Parliament
MPs
Puruse interests related to their background e.g. Champion on tighter regulations of sex offeders changing their names without notification - used to work in child services
APPGs
Formed of cross-party members who have a particular interest e.g. sex equality, Islamaphobia, race and community
