In the UK the DBA has supported the Associated Parliamentary Design and Innovation Group (APDIG) since 2006, and it continues to play an intrinsic role in inquiries, round table discussions and seminars at the House of Commons, all with the aim of getting design and the issues the industry faces, to the very heart of Government.
