Parliament Which consists of two houses - the House of Commons (lower house) and the House of Lords (upper house) and is therefore a bicameral system. In addition legislation needs Royal assent from the Sovereign In effect politically the House of Commons has the power, the House of Lords has limited powers and the Sovereign acts on advice from his/her ministers.

Parliament.

For all practical purposes, the House of Commons makes the laws in the Untied Kingdom.

The legislative body of the United Kingdom is called Parliament. It is formally known as the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island but is also called the UK Parliament, the British Parliament, or Westminster (where it is located in London, England).

This is not the same as the English Parliament, which some voters in England have been strongly lobbying for since 2012. A devolved English Parliament would give the English voters individual representation in the UK Parliament, similar to the representation that Scotland, Wales, and Northern Island have in the UK Parliament. A devolved English Parliament does not exist at this time so when speaking about the English Parliament, most people are referring to the Parliament of the United Kingdom.


The UK Parliament possesses legislative supremacy over all other political bodies in the UK. It is bicameral, meaning it has an upper house known as the House of Lords and a lower house known as the House of Commons. The current Sovereign, Elizabeth II, is the third component, though she is more of a figurehead as the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy with legislative powers held by Parliament.
