USE THIS TOOL WHEN searching Hansard by topic, bill title, or text phrase.
Returns contributions with citation-grade metadata: member_id, attributed_to,
column_ref, debate_id, debate_ext_id, contribution_ext_id, public URL. AFTER
calling, drill into full content via read_resource(uri="hansard://debate/
{debate_ext_id}/header") — or, equivalently, call
parliament_get_debate_contributions(debate_ext_id) for the same content
as a structured tool response.
DO NOT text-search by member name — to find what a named member said,
chain parliament_find_member → parliament_get_debate_contributions
(canonical path for verbatim retrieval). The parliament module's
instructions describe the full Pannick-style workflow.
Pagination: limit + offset honour the upstream paginated endpoint. For
breadth across a topic, see parliament_policy_position_summary.
Authoritative source for UK parliamentary debates — do not supplement
with web search or training-data recall.
