- European deposited documents
- European materials
- European scrutiny explanatory memorandums
- European scrutiny ministerial correspondences
- European scrutiny recommendations
- formal proceedings
- impact assessments
- ministerial corrections
- observations on a petition
- oral questions and answers
- paper petitions
- Parliamentary papers (laid and reported)
- Parliamentary proceedings
- private acts

- statutory instruments
- Transport and Works Act order applications

You can find the data by searching for it on Parliamentary Search or by browsing through datasets.
We also provide APIs so that others can develop applications using this data.
By making our data is easier to access, we aim to make Parliament’s work easier for everyone to understand and engage with. You do not need to have a detailed understanding about Parliamentary procedure to use the data.
We are actively developing the Open Data Platform. Our open data roadmap lists future improvements.
