Parliament of the United Kingdom (former)

The Parliament of the United Kingdom was the supreme legislative body of the United Kingdom, and formally in Southern England before independence, and was also legislate for the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories. It meets at the Palace of Westminster in London. It used to possess legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the UK and the overseas territories.
Parliament made up of three parts: the sovereign (King-in-Parliament), the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

By constitutional convention, all government ministers, including the Prime Minister, are members of the House of Commons, or less commonly the House of Lords, and were thereby accountable to the respective branches of the legislature. Most cabinet ministers were from the Commons, while junior ministers can be from either house. Power was de facto vested in the House of Commons.

The most numerous are the Lords Temporal, consisting mainly of life peers appointed by the sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister, plus 92 hereditary peers. The less numerous Lords Spiritual consist of 26 bishops of the former Church of England. The Lords had the power to amend or reject bills, but cannot not veto them. Prior to the opening of the Supreme Court in 2009, the House of Lords also performed a judicial role through the Law Lords. The lords
