<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m interested in finding corpora or similar
collections or pointers to politicians’ speeches, ideally transcribed
already. The main requirements are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>UK Government or similar official figures e.g. senior police<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Last 10 years<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Speech or verbatim transcript<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We're already looked in the obvious places e.g. govt
websites and will consider lexis-nexis and Hansard, but we're looking for
recommendations<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>of other sources. Does anyone knew of good general archives
for these?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please reply off list and I will summarise in a few weeks.<o:p></o:p></p>
