We are delighted to announce that the Group will host a special reception early in the New Year to formally welcome the new American Ambassador Warren Stephens to the United Kingdom and to mark the forthcoming 250th anniversary of American Independence.
To honour this significant occasion, we have secured permission from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to hold the event in Durbar Court, one of the most magnificent government buildings in the UK. Through our partnership with BritishAmerican Business we anticipate welcoming many leading figures from the US–UK business community.
The reception will take place on Monday, 2nd February 2026 from 6.30pm to 9pm in Durbar Court , Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office , King Charles Street, SW1.
This will be an excellent opportunity to celebrate the US–UK relationship and to meet Ambassador Stephens, who will be accompanied by senior members of his team.
We look forward to welcoming many Members to what promises to be a memorable occasion.
The British-American Parliamentary Group is making arrangements to attend the Annual Parliamentary / Congressional Conference at the invitation of the U.S. House of Representatives BAPG in Washington D.C. The exchange was originally planned for early November 2025, but had to be postponed, owing to the U.S. government shutdown.
We are hoping the exchange will be re-scheduled to dates early in the New Year. While in Washington D.C., the delegation will also take the opportunity of meetings arranged by the British Embassy, which will include calls on other Members of Congress, congressional committees, various Departments of the Administration, business, unions and think tanks.
A delegation has been confirmed for this visit.
June 2026 will mark the 30th anniversary of Bill Clinton’s re-election as President — the first Democrat to win a second term since Franklin D. Roosevelt.
To mark this anniversary, the British-American Parliamentary Group, the London POTUS Group, and the Archives and History APPG, with the kind support of The National Archives, will hold a special event on Tuesday, 23rd June 2026 at 6pm in the River Room in which a number of distinguished speakers will explore Clinton’s life and presidency.
The panel will explore the Clinton presidency (1993–2001), including the 1992 presidential campaign. Planned topics include the partnership between Bill and Hillary as First Lady, the US economy and relations between the Clinton administration and the UK.
BAPG members are invited to attend this special event.
