Hansard Facts title



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

Hansard is not named after any politician. Instead, it is named after T.C. Hansard, who privately printed House of Commons records in the 19th century.



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.
