Hansard Society

The Hansard Society works to make Parliament more effective. Through our research we develop ideas to help improve the way Parliament works. And through education, events and media engagement we support knowledge of and interest in the UK's parliamentary system.

The Society was founded by Stephen King-Hall MP in 1944, and our first members were Clement Attlee MP and Winston Churchill MP. Today, as in their day, we bring together parliamentarians and all those interested in parliamentary affairs in the UK and around the world.
