New! Ministerial Statements now included
The TheyWorkForYou.com volunteers are busily crunching their way through the more esoteric corners of Hansard. By way of example, we've just incorporated Written Ministerial Statements into the site.
Nope, most of us had never heard of them either, but apparently:
Written Ministerial Statements were introducted in late 2002 to stop the practice of having "planted" or "inspired" questions designed to elicit Government statements.
They are just that - statements on a particular topic by a Government Minister.
Well, there you go. You live and learn.
Next up: Select Committees, which promise to be an order of magnitude more challenging. We'll keep you posted.
PS We're always on the lookout for new volunteers - contact us if you are keen to help in almost any capacity.
