# UK Hansard

## Description
Hansard represents the official record of parliamentary proceedings across the United Kingdom’s legislative bodies. This dataset incorporates records from multiple sources, including debates and written answers from the UK Commons and Lords, devolved legislatures (Scottish Parliament, Senedd in both English and Welsh, Northern Ireland Assembly), London Mayor’s Questions, and ministerial statements. Data was sourced from [ParlParse](https://parser.theyworkforyou.com/), covering Commons debates from 1918 forward and Lords proceedings from the 1999 reform. Each document was processed to preserve complete parliamentary sessions as cohesive units, maintaining the natural flow of debate. All content is published under the [Open Parliament License](https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/copyright-parliament/open-parliament-licence/).

## License Issues
While we aim to produce datasets with completely accurate licensing information, license laundering and inaccurate metadata can cause us to erroneously assign the incorrect license to some documents (for further discussion of this limitation, please see [our paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.05209)). If you believe you have found an instance of incorrect licensing in this dataset, please [start a discussion](https://github.com/r-three/common-pile/discussions/new) on this repository.
