I really don't understand what you're getting at, Iains.

The Hansard reporters take down, word for word, what is said in Parliament. They don't put a spin on it, alter it, comment on it, or misreport it. Hansard is not a newspaper - it is a transcript of the day in Parliament. Now, what is said may be anything - pearls of wisdom or absolute bollocks - but the reporters have NO choice in changing it. That is what makes it different from a conventional newspaper.

In short, you may disagree with the opinions of the speakers whose words are taken down in Hansard - that depends on whether you trust the individual MPs or not - but you cannot say that they said something else entirely.
