If by Astons you mean the superimposed captions, then if you had read the

The Astons on the channel carry the information anyway, and we know that
this can be fed into another computer system, as the MHEG5 version of
BBC Parliament.
I can't be that hard for BBC Parliament to provide the feed of
information that is used to generate the Astons (and the former MHEG5
service) as a live text file (or something).
