Consequences Of The Federal System For Parliamentary Control Of The Budget Of The Federal Republic Of Germany
Abstract
Any attempt to analyse parliamentary control of the budget in the light of the federal structure of West Germany must start with the observation that there is no such thing as the budget of the Federal Republic. There are in fact around 24,000 public budgets : that of the central government (Bund), those of the eleven member states (Lander) 1 making up the Federal Republic, and finally the estimates of the various local authorities.
