Where do MP's meet and how many times do they meet?

Answer 1

Members of the United Kingdom Parliament meet in the Palace of Westminster in London. It is a two chamber Parliament (bi-cameral) with the elected Members, who are known as MP's, meeting in the House of Commons (or the Lower Chamber) and the appointed Lords and Bishops meeting in the House of Lords (or Upper Chamber).

Sitting times vary, but are usually Monday-Thursday (with occasional Friday's for debating what are called Private Members Bills). Parliament sits throughout the year, with holidays at Christmas, Easter, and other school holidays, before the Summer Recess which usually starts around late June/early July and lasts until after the Conservative Party Conference in October. There are no fixed rules for how many days or weeks a year Parliament should sit, and it is largely dependent on the progress of Government business.
