D the G. "Hansard is not a newspaper. It is the official report of goings on on both houses of parliament. What it reports is always accurate. It has no bias or spin in itself and only gives verbatim copy of what was said." Very true but I am sure reams were written on Parliamentary reports of weapons of mass destruction used as an excuse to take us to war in Iraq, and later shown to be a massaged pack of lies. These conversations/debates were based on a false premise. Parliament was mislead and dodgy dossiers were used as a basis for the voting. In reality that was a far greater crime than the daily wail getting things wrong on occasions. Anyway if in search of quality reporting there exist other papers.
