Long answer is yes, short answer is...yes.

The UK parliament is the ultimate law making authority in Britain. If it so wished, it could abolish county councils, devolved assembly and parliaments-if theory, the UK parliament is supreme. In reality it would be challenged by the authorites themselves as well as the UK supreme court.

So yes, absolutely is could pass the law saying `you are abolished`. But what would happen after that is unknown

Where does the parliament in Wales meet?

Wales does not have a "Parliament". Is has a devolved assembly called "The Welsh Government". It sits in a building called "The Senedd" which is located in Cardiff Bay. It was designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour architects and officially opened in 1999. But as of June 2017 the Welsh Assembly now has the right to call itself a Parliament, under the terms of The Wales Act which came into force after The Queen's Speech to the House of Commons. The Wales Act extends and increases the amount of power the devolved Welsh Government has, although this was largely ignored by and not covered by the UK-wide media, who have an anti-Welsh bias.

Where is england's Parliament?

* The United Kingdom has a parliament, which legislates for the country as a whole. (But see below). * Scotland has its own parliament, which legislates for many matters, but not for matters affecting the UK as a whole. (Its tax raising powers are very restricted). * Wales has an Assembly, which has rather more limited powers than the Scottish parliament. * Northern Ireland has a provincial assembly with powers broadly comparable to the Welsh Assembly. * England (in the proper sense) has no parliament. However, the UK parliament can legislate for England.
