Hansard is the official record of what has been said* in both Houses of Parliament. As such it carries a "substantially verbatim" report of proceedings. There are two separate sequences for the two houses. All bound volumes of Hansard are in the Research Reserve.
*Hansard also includes Written Answers, Written Ministerial Statements and the record of debates in Westminster Hall.

You can search by speaker, look for the frequency of a word or phrase over time, investigate alterations in the usage and meaning of words and also limit and compare search terms by decade, house or party in power. Created as part of the SAMUELS project.
These Journals report what was done in each House, rather than what was said, and are thus a more concise record than Hansard.
