Hansard

Hansard is the edited verbatim report of proceedings in the Houses of Parliament, including both the Commons and the Lords, and Standing Committees, and contains relevant Ministerial Written Statements and Written Answers.

Hansard is not only a valuable resource for students, researchers, historians, political scientists, politicians and journalists, but may be of interest to anyone wishing to learn more about significant events in British history.

The Reference Library holds copies of Hansard covering a little over 100 years to the present day.

Hansard from 1988 to the present is available online.
