Parliamentarians undertaking Industry and Parliament Trust (IPT) Fellowships and organisations hosting them are required to abide by the rules set out in the IPT's Fellowship Guidelines. These rules ensure that IPT Fellowships are non-lobbying, non-partisan, transparent, accountable and compatible with the IPT's educational ethos.
Please note: The IPT Fellowship Guidelines are currently under review and will be re-released following the next Fellowship Committee. For further information please contact the Fellowship Co-ordinator, Dominic Gates.
