"TheyWorkForYou currently contains:
* Hansard Commons debates back to the General Election of 1935"
Was there a particular reason for choosing exactly this date? Or, to
put the question differently, would it be technically feasible to go
straight back to 1802, as http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/ does ?
I recognise that it says further down on the page that this is just a
"taster", I am just wondering about what we can expect ;-)
