Providing the Parliamentary Material Information System (DIP) is the Parliamentary Documentation Division’s main service.

The Parliamentary Material Information System helps you to search for a wide range of publicly available parliamentary material of the German Bundestag and the Bundesrat. This material has been indexed by name and subject.

Currently there are two different DIP systems in operation, one for the 8th to the 15th electoral terms (1976–2005) and one for all material from the 16th electoral term onwards (since 2005).

You can use the Parliamentary Material Information System to search for parliamentary proceedings (debates, bills, motions, questions, reports etc.) as well as for parliamentary activities undertaken by MPs and Government members. Search results link directly to the full texts of the papers and the minutes of plenary proceedings.
