"Over the past year, the Hansard Society has been investigating the way Parliament scrutinises and authorises government spending and taxation. On July 4 we published our final report, The fiscal maze: Parliament, government and public money. We set out to ask whether Parliament does what is constitutionally expected of it, namely to hold government to account for the raising and spending of public money on behalf of the public it represents."
