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.

It actually is devoid of meaning because since the British Act of Union in 1707, there has not been an English Legislature. Most people use the slang term "English Legislature" to refer to the British Parliament which was adapted from the earlier English Parliament or English Legislative branch. The British Parliament is divided in two houses, an upper, appointed house called the House of Lords in which members of the British Aristocracy have membership and a lower, elected house called the House of Commons where each member belongs to a political party elected by all voting adults above the age of 18. In actuality, the House of Commons more or less functions as a unicameral legislature, with the House of Lords having little to do with the legal process. The objective of the British Parliament is to create and pass laws for the benefit of the British People.
