The Houses Of Parliament
The business of Parliament takes place in two places, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Parliament exists to challenge the work of government, approve new laws and debate government policy and current issues.
The House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was created in the thirteenth century. By the end of eighteenth century the House of Lords lost most of its power for the House of Commons. Nowadays, the House of Lords has less functions than before. It plays a legislative role. It has the ability to discussproposed laws and does in a more free, deep, flexible and rigorous way than the House of Commons.
The House of Commons is the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was created in the thirteenth century. The House of Commons was originally far less powerful than the House of Lords, but today its legislative powers greatly exceed those of the Lords. Theprime minister must necessarily be elected from the beginning of thecentury XX, between representatives of Commons (before it could befrom among any of the two chambers).Westminster Hall is an amazing building and is officially a royal palace. Standing on the banks of the river Thames the Parliamentary buildings hold many important historical stories, most famously Guy Fawkes.
