Hansard (formally known as The Department of the Official Report) is responsible for producing reports of the proceedings of the main chamber of the House of Commons, of Westminster Hall, of Standing and Grand Committees and of certain Select Committees. It also operates the Annunciator System and is responsible for printing written questions and answers. Hansard is an indispensable aid for Members and others within the House and for those outside it who need a clear, accurate and independent account of proceedings.
Attend this workshop and you will experience first-hand how these experts conduct parliamentary reporting and how you can introduce initiatives to help your own legislative reporting department develop or enhance effective reporting systems.
