English UK Parliamentary Reception
Wednesday 20 May 2026
House of Commons, 13:30 - 16:00
Join fellow English UK members and leaders from across the UK ELT community for a unique opportunity to step inside the Palace of Westminster and connect directly with MPs, Lords and other key decision-makers. This critical event is your chance to raise the visibility of our sector, highlight its vital contribution to the UK, and make the case for the policy support we need to thrive.
This year, we unveiled brand-new economic impact data demonstrating the scale of ELT's value to the UK, alongside our latest position paper. The findings are clear: with just a few simple policy shifts, ELT could make an even fuller contribution to the UK, benefitting students, communities, and the national economy.
We are honoured to announce that Baroness Prashar will be our host for our 2026 Parliamentary Reception, ensuring the voice of ELT is heard at the very heart of government. We hope to see you there.

Parliamentary Reception 2025
In May 2025, 14 MPs and three members of the House of Lords attended the launch of our policy position paper this year, our highest level of parliamentary engagement to date. Our 2025 Members' Conference & AGM was held the following day, on Thursday 15 May, at the Hilton London Canary Wharf (and online).
The event sponsor in 2025 was LANGUAGECERT.
