The Parliament of Great Britain is the United Kingdom's main lawmaking body. It is divided into a House of Commons and a House of Lords. The House of Lords is now fairly irrelevant but it does some useful work revising legislation from the House of Commons. The members of the House of Commons are sent by the town or district which they represent. An interesting fact: the Queen is not allowed in the House of Commons except during the annual opening. Some power to make laws is delegated to the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and the many Local Authorities.
