First published in 1966, Parliament and Administration presents a comprehensive overview of the structure and functioning of the Estimates Committee along with a number of problems affecting the Committee's organization and its future. With the help of case studies, the book discusses important themes like procedures and organization of the Estimates Committee; reports of the Committee from 1945-65; its achievements and influence; and proposals for change. This historical reference work will be valuable for students and scholars of parliamentary politics, British politics, political science, and public administration.

Nevil Johnson (at the time of the original publication of the book) was senior lecturer in politics, University of Warwick.
