Parliamentary papers are the working documents of government for all areas of social, political, economic, and foreign policy.   The collection includes pre-Hansard debates, House of Lords and Commons journals, rare private bills, other legislative materials, and reports and papers presented to both Houses. As with the 19th and 20th Century papers, they will be full-text searchable with hit-term highlighting, bibliographic data and subject indexing. High-quality scans of the original printed papers will allow users to see all of the accompanying illustrations, statistics and maps.
