Our purpose
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Local Authority Trading Companies (LATCOs) is a cross-party forum for MPs and peers to strengthen the voice in Parliament and Whitehall of council-owned businesses across the country.
It brings together Parliamentarians, UK local government of all parties, public sector leaders, industry, third sector and policy experts to advance jobs and growth by council-owned companies in England and Wales.




Our work
Our work
The group is a cross-party forum for MPs and Peers to work together through a practical dialogue and collaboration between central and local government, business, unions, academics and policy experts.
Using research, events, roundtables, briefings, bulletins and submissions to Parliamentary committees, we work across Westminster to raise awareness of the effectiveness and growth generated by local authority trading companies to the UK economy.
The group also supports and shares standards of excellence for LATCOs as employers plus explores the benefits to local communities and financial returns to the public sector.
