Summary/Abstract: The article presents the most important issues in the accountability relationship between MPs and governments and their members. The various instruments of accountability at the disposal of MPs are comparatively identified and characterised. On this basis, the article argues that MPs have the instrumentality to hold the government and its agendas to account. They have tools at their disposal to obtain information on specific events concerning governments and their agencies, individual policies pursued by governments and their agencies, as well as the overall activities of governments.
