Acts of the British Parliament are normally proposed by the ministers of the government (or occasionally by a private member of parliament). They are debated and voted on in the House of Commons by elected members of parliament. Acts then go to the House of Lords to be reviewed and voted on by members of the House of Lords. Acts then come back to the House of Commons for a third reading, debate and vote. If Acts pass this third vote, they are then sent to the British Monarch to receive the royal ascent (an Act is signed into law by the King or Queen) and become law.
