No

A section of the Divisions factsheet tells readers
where they can find division listings - currently only
from a private company.

The factsheet needs updating to refer readers to The
Public Whip

    Confusingly, there are two versions of this factsheet. And
    at one point its name changed from Factsheet 45 to Factsheet 9.

    On 2003-11-10 I got a reply from hcinfo. The answer is "no"
    for the following reasons:

    - PublicWhip don't offer a warranty for the data.
    HCinfoneed to be confident of quality before they can
    provide a link.
    - Our website needs to stop using the terminology
    "attendance", and should instead say "division participation".
    - As they are politically impartial, can't appear to endorse
    the term "rebel", or the vote maps.

    Replied asking for both help and more details as to the
    quality level they would like and various other things.
