Join us and help protect parliamentary democracy
As a member your support will help us promote the cause of parliamentary democracy. Our members form an invaluable network of people who care about Parliament, public life and politics and want our parliamentary institutions to prosper in the future. Membership is open to individuals of all ages, as well as organisations. Join us!
The first members of the Society were Clement Attlee MP and Winston Churchill MP. Today, as in their day, our members' support is essential in promoting the cause of parliamentary democracy.
Founded by Stephen King-Hall MP in 1944, the Hansard Society is dedicated to improving knowledge of and interest in the UK's parliamentary system through research and education.
We bring together parliamentarians and all those interested in parliamentary affairs. Members get the opportunity to meet people in the news and hear what is going on behind the headlines.
If you care about Parliament, public life and politics, then join us!
