There is no strict rule or order of precedence governing who sits where, apart from the Prime Minister, on the Government benches. The composition of the front bench is dependent upon the business of the day. In recent times however, it has become customary for the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, to sit to the Prime Minister's right when both are in the House.

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 Lords has the "birth right" passed down through families, stemming from the long-standing divine right to rule theory, and the House of Commons is elected by voter districts.
The House of Lords has no power actually over the House of Commons (Parliament). But, they have a braking power, a right to scrutinise (often in very fine detail) any act of Parliament the Government (the political party currently in power) wishes to bring into law. A member's Bill may pass back and forth from the Commons to the Lords and amended several times, until it is finally approved or defeated in the House of Commons, and passed (or not) into law.
