Parliamentary Policy Briefing

What is parliament saying about your issue?

Requires the UK Legal MCP server

A Claude skill that researches the parliamentary landscape around a policy topic. Searches Hansard, identifies key MPs, assesses parliamentary reception, and maps related legislation into a structured briefing.

The problem

Understanding the political landscape on a policy means searching Hansard manually, reading debate transcripts, identifying who said what, and cross-referencing with legislation. A thorough policy briefing takes a researcher half a day. Most people skip it and go in underprepared.

What it does

Features

  • Searches Hansard for debates, oral questions, and written questions on your topic
  • Identifies key MPs and Lords: advocates, critics, ministers with responsibility
  • Parliamentary reception assessment: supportive, mixed, or hostile with reasoning
  • Related legislation: Bills before Parliament, existing Acts, Statutory Instruments
  • Cross-party analysis: where is there consensus, where is there opposition
  • Strategic assessment: passage prospects, timeline, risks, and opportunities
  • OSCOLA citations for all legislation and case law referenced
