547
+ ## sejm_interpellations — 10th-term written Q&A (interpellations + replies)
548
+
549
+ **Investigated** — 2026-09-05 (review round 2026-09-28).
550
+
551
+ **Verdict** — `added` (proposed with `release: None`). 25,950 documents /
552
+ 28.2M `cl100k_base` tokens of written MP questions and ministry replies —
553
+ argumentative administrative prose, a register the floor-speech shards do not
554
+ carry.
555
+
556
+ **Enumeration** — `GET /sejm/term10/interpellations` and `.../writtenQuestions`
557
+ plus `/reply/{key}/body` on api.sejm.gov.pl (the endpoints the 2026-08-27
558
+ "hold — recheck" entry above could not confirm; they exist and page fine).
559
+ PDF-only replies (`onlyAttachment`) and keyless stubs skipped. Term 9 returned
560
+ `X-Total-Count: 0`; terms 7–8 skipped (PPC covers through 2019).
561
+
562
+ **License evidence** — same basis as `sejm_api`: Copyright Act art. 4(2)
563
+ (<https://eli.gov.pl/api/acts/DU/2025/24/text/O/D20250024.pdf>) + Open Data Act
564
+ arts. 2(12), 5, 14, 17 (<https://eli.gov.pl/api/acts/DU/2023/1524/text.html>).
565
+ No CC grant claimed.
566
+
567
+ **Blockers** — none to merge with `release: None`. Before release: **NERGAL
568
+ pass** — interpellations name private constituents (constituent letters and
569
+ citizen cases are quoted in questions), which is exactly the case the old
570
+ `scrub_pii` (#20) could not cover and #38 moved out of this repo. Caveats for
571
+ the card: single term (10th), private citizens named.
572
+
573
+ **Lesson** — the header chrome (nr / recipient / title / signatories / date)
574
+ belongs in meta, not text: stripping it makes the body comparable across
575
+ question and reply docs, and the before/after is the fastest reviewer evidence
576
+ for any Sejm HTML source.

+ ## Licensing — traceable basis
18
+
19
+ Official parliamentary materials are excluded from copyright under Polish
20
+ Copyright Act art. 4 pkt 2
21
+ (https://eli.gov.pl/api/acts/DU/2025/24/text/O/D20250024.pdf). Reuse of
22
+ public-sector information is governed by the Polish Open Data Act arts. 2(12),
23
+ 5, 14 and 17 (https://eli.gov.pl/api/acts/DU/2023/1524/text.html). Same basis
24
+ as the shipped `sejm_api` shard. No Creative Commons grant is asserted.
25
+
26
+ ## What the texts are
27
+
28
+ Written questions from MPs to ministers (`interpellations`,
29
+ `writtenQuestions`) and the ministry replies that the API serves as HTML.
30
+ Spoken floor speeches are **not** included — those are `sejm_api` (2023–) and
31
+ [#18](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SlayerLab/polish-dynaword/discussions/18)
32
+ (2011–2022). Same kadencja, different genre.
33
+
34
+ PDF-only replies (`onlyAttachment: true`) and keyless prolongation stubs are
35
+ skipped. Term 9 listed `X-Total-Count: 0` on both collections at fetch time
36
+ and is not in this shard. Terms 7–8 were not fetched (PPC already covers
37
+ interpellations through 2019).
38
+
39
+ ## Provenance and reproducibility
40
+
41
+ ```bash
42
+ python3 src/fetch_sejm_interpellations.py --out ~/speakleash --terms 9,10 --workers 4
43
+ python3 src/build_dynaword.py --sources sejm_interpellations --speakleash-dir ~/speakleash --out .
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ `src/fetch_sejm_interpellations.py` pulls HTML `/body` endpoints, strips
47
+ header chrome (nr / recipient / title / signatory / date) into `meta`, then
48
+ runs pattern PII redaction (the `scrub_pii` pass from #20 at build time —
49
+ phones → `[Telefon]`; e-mail / PESEL / NIP / REGON / IBAN → `[PII]`). That
50
+ in-repo scrubber was removed in #38; PII now goes through
51
+ [SlayerLab/NERGAL](https://huggingface.co/SlayerLab/NERGAL) and **this shard
52
+ must be re-run through NERGAL before it is admitted to a release** (it quotes
53
+ constituency casework naming private persons). Names of public officials stay.
54
+ `build_dynaword.py` applies the usual gates (strip, `< 200` chars, Polish
55
+ diacritic ratio, exact sha1).
56
+
57
+ ## Why include it
58
+
59
+ The corpus already has spoken Sejm (`parliamentary`, `sejm_api`). This adds
60
+ the written Q&A register for the current term: longer, formal, ministry-voiced
61
+ replies that do not appear in the speech shards — the argumentative
62
+ question/answer pair is a document type the corpus otherwise lacks entirely.
63
+ Caveats for downstream users: single term (10th, 2023-11-15 – 2026-09-03), and
64
+ interpellations quote constituency casework that can name private citizens (see
65
+ Privacy below — a NERGAL pass is a release gate).

91
+ Question (author `Daniel Milewski`):
92
+
93
+ ```
94
+ Szanowny Panie Ministrze,
95
+
96
+ latem 2022 roku na podlaskiej części granicy z Białorusią ukończono zaporę
97
+ fizyczną, czyli 5,5-metrowy płot ze stalowych przęseł zwieńczony drutem
98
+ żyletkowym. Ogrodzenie stoi na 186 kilometrach. […]
99
+ ```
100
+
101
+ Reply (author `sekretarz stanu w Ministerstwie Spraw Zagranicznych
102
+ Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski`):
103
+
104
+ ```
105
+ Szanowny Panie Marszałku,
106
+
107
+ w odpowiedzi na zapytanie poselskie nr 3472 pana posła Bronisława Foltyna
108
+ w sprawie Instytutu Polskiego w Szwajcarii, uprzejmie informuję, co
109
+ następuje. […]
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ ## Privacy and limitations
113
+
114
+ Regex PII scrub at fetch time is not a guarantee of zero personal data.
115
+ Constituency casework in interpellations can name private persons; those
116
+ names are left in (officials acting in capacity are not treated as PII).
117
+ Downstream users must review applicable privacy and source terms. Per
118
+ AGENTS.md the shard must be re-run through
119
+ [SlayerLab/NERGAL](https://huggingface.co/SlayerLab/NERGAL) before release;
120
+ merge with `release: None` is fine meanwhile.
