None. The British Parliament is made up of two Houses, The House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons is the elected Members of Parliament, and the near equivalent of the US Senate is the House of Lords. Members of the House of Lords were historically hereditary peers, but following recent reforms the members are mostly appointed. The Lords also includes Bishops and Archbishops of The Church of England and Senior Judges, both of which groups are also appointed and not elected.
They are (not were, they are still in existence) the House of Commons and the House of Lords
The U.S. equivalent of the House of Lords is the Senate. Like the House of Lords, the Senate serves as the upper chamber of the legislative branch, with members serving longer terms and representing entire states rather than individual districts. Senators have significant powers, including the ability to confirm presidential appointments and ratify treaties. However, unlike the House of Lords, the Senate is an elected body, with all members chosen by popular vote.
lower 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 !
In the United States: Lower house: House of Representatives Upper house: Senate In the U.K. Lower House: House of Commons Upper House: House of Lords
