The Parliament

The British Parliament has been in existence since 1215, when King John signed the Magna Carta, and is one of the oldest in the world. Par­liament consists of two chambers, the House of Commons, consisting of members of parliament who are elected, and the House of Lords, consist­ing of unelected peers. The Sovereign, at the moment Queen Elizabeth II, is the third part of the Parliament. The government is officially known as Her Majesty’s Government. The Queen has, in principle, a lot of power over the government, but chooses not to exercise that power. This position has emerged through the ages, though at one time the Sovereign exercised a lot of power over the government, and the country.

In principle, the “Crown in Parliament” is supreme. This means that legislation passed by Parliament, which consists of the House of Commons (elected directly by the people) and the House of Lords (made up of hereditary peers and appointive members—archbishops, senior bishops, law lords, and life peers) becomes law upon royal assent. In practice, legislation is dominated by the prime minister and the cabi­net, who initiate virtually all proposed bills and who are politically re­sponsible for the administration of the law and the affairs of the na­tion. Fiscal legislation is always initiated in the House of Commons. Since the Parliament Act of 1911, the House of Lords has been unable to block fiscal legislation. By the terms of the Parliament Act of 1949, the Lords may not disapprove other bills if they have been passed by two successive annual sessions of the Commons. The power of the Crown to veto legislation has not been exercised in over 280 years.

British Institutions

Parliament is the most important authority in Britain. Parlia­ment first met in the 13th century. Britain does not have a written constitution, but a set of laws.

In 1689 Mary II and William III became the first constitutional monarchs. They could rule only with the support of the Parliament. Technically Parliament is made up of three parts: the Monarch, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

The continuity of the English monarchy has been interrupted only once during the Cromwell republic. Succession to the throne is heredi­tary but only for Protestants in the direct line of descent.Formally the monarch has a number of roles. The monarch is ex­pected to be politically neutral, and should not make political deci­sions. Nevertheless, the monarch still performs some important exec­utive and legislative duties including opening and dissolving Parliament, signing bills passed by both Houses and fulfilling interna­tional duties as head of state. The present sovereign is Queen Elizabeth II who was crowned in Westminster Abbey in 1953.

The House of Lords comprises about 1 200 peers. The house is pre­sided over by the Lord Chancellor. The House of Lords has no real pow­er but acts as an advisory council for the House of Commons. As well as having legislative functions, the Lords is the highest court of appeal. The House of Commons consists of Members of Parliament who are elected by the adult suffrage of the British people in general elections which are held at least every five years. The country is divided into 650 constituencies each of which elects one Member of Parliament.

The Commons, therefore, has 650 Members of Parliament. The party which wins the most seats forms the Government and its leader becomes the Prime Minister. The functions of Commons are legisla­tion and security of government activities. The house is presided over by the Speaker. The government party sits on the Speaker’s right while on his left sit the members of the opposition.
