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.

The House of Lords is the 'upper house' of parliament which has 733 members. The main roles of the House of Lords include examining, amending and approving bills of UK and European legislation and initiating bills for consideration in the House of Commons.
The main difference is the House of Commons is populated by elected representatives but the House of Lords is composed of people whose father and grandfather was rich and owned a lot of land or a clergyman who became a high-ranking bishop or a politician whose party wanted someone friendly in that house to influence the debates and votes.

MP's in the House of Commons, when they refer to 'the other place' are referring to The House of Lords. Both houses are situated in The Palace of Westminster, The Houses of Parliament, situated just off the central Lobby, the Commons to the left and Lords to the right. The Commons is the main debating and law making chamber, bills introduced there go to the House of lords to be passed or sent back to be ratified if the Lords don't agree with them, this system has been undergoing reform under the Labour Government since 1997 to the present time.
