Hansard
www.theyworkforyou.com carries an interactive version of Hansard.
Hansard is the edited verbatim report of proceedings in both Houses. Commons Hansard covers proceedings in the Commons Chamber, Westminster Hall and Standing Committees. Lords Hansard covers proceedings in the Lords Chamber and its Grand Committees.
Members' words are reported with repetitions and redundancies omitted and with obvious mistakes omitted, but nothing is left out which adds to the meaning of the speech or illustrates the argument. Both Official Reports also contain the relevant Written Ministerial Statements and Written Answers.
They are published the next day in printed form at 7.30 am and appear on the Parliament website at 8 am (Hansard for Friday sittings will be available on the following Monday).
How to visit Parliament
If you would like to visit the House of Commons, for a tour or to listen to a debate or a question time, please contact my Commons' office on 01269 597677. More information about visiting can be found on the Parliament website
The tours of the building only take place when the Commons is not sitting, which is on Mondays and Tuesdays in the morning (till about 13.30 hours) and on Friday afternoons, or any day during the recesses.
How to lobby your MP
You do not need to go to the Commons to lobby me - you can write, e-mail or come to one of my constituency surgeries.
To see me at the House, a prior appointment is needed, though you can always try your luck if you are there you may just catch me!
