Advantages
- using a dictionary is quick and easy
- using Hansard might clarify what parliament meant
- Europe allows background papers to be used so it is sensible for English courts to use them when acts are based on international rules
|
Disadvantages
- Using Hansard may not reveal what parliament as a whole intended
- sometimes what the minister said may not be clear
- there is the danger of treating materials that are not part of the act as having the same status as the act and so undermining the authority of parliament
