Steve McCabe reelected as chair of APPG on Retail Crime

Labour MP Steve McCabe has been re-elected as chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Retail Crime.

The Birmingham Selly Oak MP, who is leading the cross-party group since November 2018, was re-appointed at a meeting last week.

The NFRN, which acts as the group’s secretariat, said the APPG has made real progress under McCabe.

“Under Steve McCabe’s chairmanship, the APPG has made real progress in making the government more aware of the true impact that retail crime has on independent retailers and in the communities in which they serve,” Stuart Reddish, NFRN national president, said.

“We are delighted that he has been re-elected as chairman and look forward to working closely with him to continue to push in parliament the concerns, not just of our members’, but of the whole independent sector on retail crime.”

Baroness Eaton and MPs Alex Norris and Peter Bottomley were appointed as vice chairs of the group.
