Hansard Facts title



Luke Hansards autobiography, December 1817, inscribed "To His beloved Son James by His affectionate Father"

Luke Hansard came to London from Norwich and entered the establishment of Hughes, printer to the House, becoming manager in 1774 and sole proprietor in 1798. Through his son, Thomas, his family have given their name to the reports of debates of legislatures around the Commonwealth.



Stuart Miller runs Hansard's Production Unit, which serves the Official Reports of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. It handles the layout and pagination of all the reports of proceedings of both Houses and their Commttees, as well as Westminster Hall, written answers and written ministerial statements.

The team work long into the early hours to ensure that each day's Hansard is ready for 8 am the next morning.
