Parliament is now paying attention

The cross-party group supporting survivors and demanding a full, independent inquiry.

What is the APPG?

The Justice For Fayed and Harrods Survivors All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) is a cross-party coalition of MPs committed to supporting survivors and ensuring their concerns are heard at the highest levels of Parliament.

J4FHS supports the APPG in its work to press for transparency, institutional accountability, improved safeguarding and a credible path toward justice.

The APPG listens to our survivors, as well as other groups advocating for survivor-led action, while J4FHS remains fully independent in guiding its campaign and priorities.

How the APPG was formed

Independent journalist Keaton Stone brought the issue to the attention of Dave Robertson MP prior to the broadcast of the BBC documentary in 2024. This initiated the early discussions and groundwork that would ultimately lead to the formation of the APPG for the Survivors of Fayed and Harrods.

After disclosing the abuse suffered by his wife, Sophia Stone, Keaton’s investigation revealed years of testimonies, evidence, and systemic failures, highlighting the urgent need for political action.

Dave Robertson approached Wendy Chamberlain MP to co-chair the cross-party group, and together they laid the foundation for the APPG, which was officially established in late 2025 to support survivors and press for accountability at the highest levels of Parliament.

What the APPG stands for

In short, the APPG is a cross-party parliamentary group championing survivor-led accountability, justice, and systemic reform in response to Fayed and Harrods.

  • Supporting survivors: Ensuring the voices and concerns of survivors are heard in Parliament.

  • Holding enablers accountable: Pressing for action against those who facilitated or concealed Fayed’s abuse.

  • Oversight of investigations: Monitoring the Metropolitan Police’s investigation and civil claims to ensure they are thorough and transparent.

  • Driving political action: Advocating for a full, independent public inquiry into the abuse and institutional failures.

  • Cross-party survivor-led focus: Bringing together MPs across parties, informed by survivor testimony and campaigns, to create systemic change and ensure proper safeguarding.

What the APPG is doing

The APPG is actively:

  • Pressing for a statutory public inquiry into the abuse and the institutional failures that allowed it to continue.

  • Engaging directly with survivors and witnesses to understand the full scope of their experiences and concerns.

  • Consulting with legal experts, safeguarding professionals, and advocacy groups to ensure informed action.

  • Holding institutions accountable and challenging attempts to obscure or minimise the truth.

  • Raising the profile of the case in Parliament, ensuring it remains a priority at the highest levels.

  • Advocating for legislative and policy reforms to strengthen safeguarding in workplaces where power imbalances create risk.

The APPG represents one of the most important steps toward uncovering the full truth, securing justice for survivors, and ensuring that these failures are publicly acknowledged and never repeated.

Why Parliamentary involvement matters

Survivors have waited decades for their voices to be heard and for their experiences to be taken seriously.

The APPG provides:

  • Political legitimacy - ensuring survivors’ concerns are recognised at the highest levels of government.

  • Access to statutory processes - creating pathways for evidence, testimony and legal accountability.

  • Independent oversight - monitoring investigations and institutional responses to ensure nothing is hidden or ignored.

  • Parliamentary pressure - applying weight and scrutiny that institutions cannot dismiss or evade.

By bringing the full force of Parliament to bear, the APPG helps ensure that survivors are listened to, institutions are held accountable, and systemic change is pursued.

A catalyst for justice

The APPG strengthens survivor voices, holds institutions to account and ensures the truth cannot be ignored.
