🚘⚡ The future of mobility is here!

In February, the SDV APPG was delighted to co-host a Future of Transport event with the APPGs for Electric Vehicles, Transport Safety, and Cycling & Walking.

Our condolences go out to her family and friends.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Baroness Randerson, who was an officer of the APPG.

Baroness Randerson was a committed and hardworking member of the House of Lords.

[Lib Dem Peers @LibDemPeers]

Our hearts are full of grief and sadness today at the passing of our own Jenny Randerson.

Jenny was a great friend and colleague to us all, and worked so hard for the Lib Dem group in the Lords, as she'd done for the Party the whole of her life.

She was one of the very best.

[Self-Driving Vehicles APPG @SelfDrivingAPPG]

Among a number of other roles during her long career of public service, she served as Lib Dem transport spokesperson during the AV Act’s passage through Parliament last year.

We are grateful for her support for the industry and for her help getting this APPG established.
