British Parliamentary Papers: House of Commons and Lords Journals

British Parliamentary Papers and reference sources relative to parliamentary research available at the University of Georgia.

Parliamentary Journals

The Journals present the official account of the proceedings of Parliament, including the records of motions passed, suspended, amended or withdrawn; the record of papers laid before each House; and lists of members appointed to committees, etc. Some years, main arguments of speeches given in Parliament are included. Journals are especially useful for the period prior to the 19th century when there were no official records of debates.
