What is the UK Parliament?
The Parliament of the United Kingdom is the supreme legislative body of the United
Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies, and the British Overseas Territories. It meets at the
Palace of Westminster, London. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby
ultimate power over all other political bodies in the UK and the overseas territories.
Parliament is bicameral but has three parts, consisting of the sovereign (King-in-
Parliament), the House of Lords, and the House of Commons (the primary chamber).In
theory, power is officially vested in the King-in-Parliament. However, the Crown
normally acts on the advice of the prime minister, and the powers of the House of Lords
are limited to only delaying legislation; thus power is de facto vested in the House of
Commons.
