Hansard

Hansard is an official record of the debate and discussions that happen in a parliamentary or legislative body. It transcribes speeches, questions, and responses made by elected representatives during sessions, providing a transparent account of proceedings. These transcripts are used for reference, accountability, and public information, ensuring that citizens and officials can review what was said and decided. In essence, Hansard captures the spoken part of parliamentary debates in a written format, serving as an authoritative record of legislative discussions and decisions.
