House of Commons Journal

The House of Commons Journal is the corrected, archive edition of Votes and Proceedings, the formal record of House of Commons business for a given day. This page includes editions of the Commons Journal in web page format and associated PDFs (1997 onwards) and scanned historic editions of the Commons Journals (1837 – 1997) in PDF only. Older documents in PDF have used optical character recognition (OCR) to enable users to search the scanned images.

Please note that the PDF material produced as scanned content may take some time to load as many of the files are quite large (eg 159 mb).

Concatenated Votes and Proceedings

See the below concatenated Votes and Proceedings for recent sessions. These are not the Journal as they do not have the index etc. and have not had the absolutely final checks made on them but are they complete and have been corrected. Note: Formal Journals will replace the concatenated Votes and Proceedings when they become available.
