​Welcome to the website of the British-Irish Parliamentary Reporting Association.

​BIPRA was founded in 2001 and has 11 members. It exists to support the exchange of information and ideas and promote professionalism in the production of the official reports of legislatures.
​
​Official reports are indispensable aids for elected members and others, as they provide clear, accurate and independent accounts of parliamentary proceedings.

We hold an annual symposium for members. The next one was due to be held in Edinburgh from 26 to 29 July 2020 but has been cancelled due to the coronavirus.
Non-BIPRA members should contact [email protected] for more information.
