Here?s to the next 200 hundred years Hansard...

By James Mullan

...this is big news okay mabye not that big, but it transpires that the Goverment is planning to make 200 years worth of Hansard debates available online.

The even better news is that some Hansard Debates are already available online and I'm not just talking about the debates available on the UK Parliament website. The site as it exists at the moment is only a sample of information from Hansard so there are a lot of gaps.

This is a great example of the government using some aspects of Web 2.0 to make information available to the general public. Not only is the site built using Open Source Software, but you can also bookmark any Hansard debate using Del.icio.us

If you want to keep up to date with what is happening with the Project, it has its own Google Group.
