Imports data on Parliamentary Research Briefings. To see a list of possible topics call research_topics_list() or research_subtopics_list() for both topics and subtopics. To see a list of briefing types, call research_types_list(). This function can return results with newlines in the text of the abstract or description of the research briefing, represented as '\\n'.

x <- research_briefings("Housing and planning")

# Requests can be made using lists created using `research_topics_list`
# and `research_subtopics_list`

research_topics_list <- research_topics_list()

x <- research_briefings(topic = research_topics_list[[7]])

research_subtopics_list <- research_subtopics_list()

x <- research_briefings(subtopic = research_subtopics_list[[7]][10])

# Requests for certain briefing types can also be made using lists
# created with `research_types_list`.
