Daily evidence briefs from House of Commons Question Period.
About this project
The Hansard Evidence Tracker is a non-partisan project that summarizes House of Commons Question Period and links political claims to official public sources.
Summaries are generated with AI and should be reviewed against the original Hansard and official datasets.
The project does not declare claims true or false automatically. It identifies claims that can be checked and links to sources that can help assess them.
Method
Question Period text is gathered from Hansard.
The text is summarized into themes, parties, claims, and source suggestions.
Claims are marked as needing evidence rather than automatically true or false.
Official sources are linked so users can verify claims themselves.
Current Limitations
The system is still in development.
AI-generated summaries should be reviewed before publication.
Source links help guide verification but do not automatically prove or disprove claims.
Observed party framing is based on Hansard text from Question Period, not full party platforms.
