Which house of the english parliament is made up of member who are elected?
I assume you are talking about the UK Parliament. The House of Commons is made up entirely of elected representatives; the House of Lords is made up of a combination of members of the Peerage, some of whom are hereditary and some of whom are 'life peers', i.e. people who have been ennobled by the monarch but who cannot pass their title down through their family. Other members of the Lords include the countrie's top judges, the countrie's top archbishops, and very senior members of the military top brass.
What is the The House of Commons and the House of Lords?
The role of the House of Commons is to govern the country. It is made up of all the members of parliament, that are voted in by the likes of me. They pass laws etc. The House of Lords is made up of life peers, peers of the realm, bishops and archbishops. They can revoke laws that have been passed by the House of Commons.
Does the House of Commons have another name?
The House of Commons is sometimes referred to as simply the Commons, the Lower House, and during debates of the House of Lords (or the Canadian Senate), it can be referred to as "the other place" (since members of the Lords and Senate are not supposed to debate the conduct of the House of Commons).
Did the House of Commons pass laws to protect their members from being punished in criminal cases?
No, members of the Senate and the House of Commons have not passed laws to make themselves immune to prosecution. This is with the exception, however, of parliamentary privilege. Members of the Senate and the House of Commons cannot be charged with an offence based on things that they say within the parliamentary precinct. This is to ensure that members of both Houses of Parliament are able to enjoy unabridged free speech in the performance of their duties. (Members of the Senate and the House of Commons are not immune, however, to prosecution for any remarks made outside of those chambers.)

Does Canada have a house of representatives?
No. The lower house in Canada is called the House of Commons. It is similar to the House of Representatives in that representatives come from fixed geographical areas defined by legislation, and they are elected as representatives of political parties. Unlike the House of Representatives, however, members of the House of Commons are not elected for fixed terms on set dates, and they on average serve longer terms in office than members of the House of Representatives (between 3 and 5 years). Attempts have recently been made to set fixed four-year terms for members of the House of Commons.

How many senators are there in the United Kingdom?
None. The British Parliament is made up of two Houses, The House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons is the elected Members of Parliament, and the near equivalent of the US Senate is the House of Lords. Members of the House of Lords were historically hereditary peers, but following recent reforms the members are mostly appointed. The Lords also includes Bishops and Archbishops of The Church of England and Senior Judges, both of which groups are also appointed and not elected.
