RIBA responses to government consultations

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) lobbies the UK's government and parliament to champion architects, better buildings, stronger communities and higher environmental standards.

We provide thought leadership through the development of policy and research, using the expertise of our members. We respond to government consultations and cross-party inquiries to help inform Members of Parliament, civil servants and the wider public of our policy positions.

Read our responses to consultations and inquiries in the key topics below.
