HansardOfficial report of the proceedings of the British Houses of Parliament, named after Luke Hansard (1752–1828), printer of the House of Commons Journal from 1774. It is published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office. The name Hansard was officially adopted in 1943. Hansard can now be consulted on the Internet. The first official reports were published from 1803 by the political journalist William Cobbett who, during his imprisonment 1810–12, sold the business to his printer Thomas Curson Hansard, son of Luke Hansard. The publication of the debates remained in the hands of the family until 1889.
