The British Parliament is the supreme legislative body in the United Kingdom, responsible for making and passing laws. It consists of two houses: the House of Commons, where Members of Parliament (MPs) are elected by the public, and the House of Lords, which includes appointed members, bishops, and hereditary peers. Together, they debate important issues and scrutinize government actions. Parliament meets in the Palace of Westminster in London. The Prime Minister, who is the head of the government, is usually a member of the House of Commons and leads the country. The Parliament plays a crucial role in representing the interests of the people and ensuring that the government is held accountable.
