How to cite
Briefings are written by AI from the cited records, so where you can, quote and cite the record itself: every source on the site gives its Hansard reference (for example HC Deb 12 December 2023, col 851) and a link to the official record. “Copy references” under a briefing gives them all in that form.
To cite a briefing itself:
Where MPs Stand (2026). “What have MPs said about onshore wind?” Briefing written by AI from the Hansard record. https://wherempsstand.com/b/… (accessed 11 October 2026).
Each briefing's address is permanent and shows the date it was prepared and the date of the latest records it used. Briefing text is licensed under CC BY 4.0; Parliamentary information under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0. See the terms.
About the site, in brief
- Covers the House of Commons and the House of Lords since May 1997 (the Lords from November 1999): debates, Westminster Hall, written questions and statements, Public Bill Committees and every vote, updated twice a day. The Northern Ireland Assembly (from 1998), the Scottish Parliament (from 1999) and the Senedd (from 2016) can be read and searched.
- Each speaker is shown as they were on the day: party, seat, role, majority, age.
- Briefings are grouped by perspective, cite every claim, and are checked word for word against the record; see the methodology.
- Run by one person, funded by donations, with no advertising or tracking cookies. See About.
