Episode notes

📖 PoliticsHome explores how everything politicians say in Parliament is recorded for posterity in something known as Hansard.

✍ We ask historians, MPs and Hansard staff what it's like live transcribing history.

How Westminster Works is a new series from PoliticsHome that takes a deep dive into the history, quirks and peculiar practices of UK politics.

Presented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton for Podot, edited by Laura Silver
