In UK there are two Houses in Parliament: The House of Commons, which is an elected assembly of 650 or so MPs (Members of Parliament). In the upper House, the House of Lords, which ratifies the work of the Commons, the members are not elected, but the number of herititary Lords are now relatively few these days, most are what are called Life Peers. I suppose the 'Congress' is therefore the Commons & the Lords is the equivilent of the House of Representatives, if I understand my US politics the right way round !
The House of Commons. Unlike in the US Congress, most of the power of the UK Parliament is held by the House of Commons. The House of Commons also has direct control over the Executive Departments of the government. The British Upper House (the House of Lords) only acts as a place of revision, and cannot reject legislation.
The Speaker of the House is the leader of the House of Representatives. This is part of the Legislative Branch of the U.S. government.
Senators and Representatives are a part of the Legislative Branch of government.
