8 Pepper v Hart notes. Where the effect or application of legislation is not clear the annotations make reference to, and reproduce extracts of the Parliamentary Debates (Hansard) to provide context for the reader when determining parliamentary intention. After the case of Pepper v Hart [1993] A.C. 593 it became possible to cite Hansard in court. The citations to Hansard direct the user to the parliament website, where more information about a specific column or issue can be obtained
