THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT

Parliament is the supreme legislative authority in the United Kingdom. It consists of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. They constitute on different principles, do different work in different places and meet only on occasions of symbolic significance such as the coronation and the opening of Parliament.

The life of Parliament is divided into periods called “sessions”. A session normally lasts for about a year from late October of the previous year to about the same date of the next year.

The House of Commons is elected, nonhereditary chamber. The election is held every five years. The House of Commons meets every day but Saturday. A light at the top of the Clock Tower, where the famous Big Ben strikes, is kept on for so long as the House is sitting. Only the members of Commons are known as MPs – Members of Parliament. The Commons is more important of the two Houses.

The House of Lords is nonelected, hereditary chamber. The House of Lords spends much time in discussing general and particular problems connected with governmental policy and administration. The House is presided over by the Lord Chancellor who is head of the judiciary in England and Wales.

The two Houses of Parliament, the Lords and the Commons, share the same building, the Palace of Westminster. The present buildings of the Palace were erected between 1840 and 1852. Parts of the Palace including the Commons Chamber itself were badly damaged in an air raid made by fascists in 1941, and have been rebuilt since 1945. The House of Commons has 659 members who belong to different political parties, and its discussions are controlled by an official called the Speaker.
