This version of the dataset is in CSV. That makes it easier for anyone to access, use and share.\r\n\r\nThere is also a mapping table in the set which links individual records to the relevant EveryPolitician (http://docs.everypolitician.org) ID for the member mentioned in the record. This mapping table only works for members of the House of Commons. This mapping will make it easier for people to do things such as link to Hansard.\r\n\r\nLists of ministers' interests for other dates are available at the link above. Some of those are in PDF too.\r\n\r\nSome manual work was created in the data entry and this is not an authoritative source.
