The Houses of Parliament

When you arrive at Westminster to see the Houses of Parliament, you go first to the entrance in the Victoria Tower.

You are taken first through long galleries to the House of Lords. You can see the throne on which the Queen sits when she opens Parliament, and the Wool Sack (it really is a sack of wool) on which the Lord Chancellor sits. You can also see the library of the House of Lords, with its rows and rows of old books and comfortable red leather armchairs.

Next you are taken to the House of Commons. Its green leather seats are not so fine as the red and gold of the House of Lords, but you may find it more interesting. Here is the Speaker’s Chair with a switch that puts on the light in the Clock Tower above Big Ben, to tell Londoners that the Parliament is sitting. From here you go to Westminster Hall, built by William in 1092. It is sometimes used for great state events.

If you have a ticket for the Strangers’ Gallery, you are taken to a seat in the gallery from which you can look down on what is happening in the House of Commons.

In front of you is the Speaker. Above the Speaker there is a clock on the wall. The members of the Parliament sit on both sides of the Speaker, the government on his right, the opposition on his left.

If the MPs like what the Speaker is saying, they shout: “Hear, hear!” If they don’t like it, they shout: “No!” Sometimes the members of one of the sides begin to shout: “Shame!” and “Sit down” until the Speaker tells them to stop. When there is a question to be discussed all the members vote. To do this they go out through two doors at the side. Those who think “yes” go through one door; those who think “no” go through the other. Then they all come back and the Speaker is told how there are on each side; and so the matter is decided.
