Hansard interpretation
June 23, 2008 - 4:49am
Does anyone know of a handy Hansard reductionist site? In the interest of starting a political thread about certain local MPs, I wasted way too much time sifting through individual Hansard prints looking for instances of a specific MP's name (using the "find on this page" command in Explorer). Has anyone found a quicker way of find information for invididual parliamentarian? I've been to the "How'd they vote" site, but it's not as up-to-date as I'd like.
Start here at the Chamber Business Home ...
... then click on Chamber Business Home under the House of Commons in the left-hand menu ...
Now you have a choice:
* either click on the Index link in the left-hand menu (the one under "Status of House Business") to use the traditional index like we used to do in the old days (yes, I'm dating myself ;-) ), or
* click on the new-fangled "Search and browse the Debates by subject" link, also in the left-hand menu. That brings you here, where you can either do a search, or browse the index a bit more.
Have fun (and do spend a minute appreciating how hard researchers used to work in the old days!).
