It is story about a uncommon people ??Tony Blair came to power as Prime Minister, he started a reform in 1997 on the formation of the Upper House. In 1999, he abolished 600 seats originally belonging to hereditary peers from the House of Lords. The House of Lords acts as an advisory body to the government, but nearly always passes the bills presented to it by the Commons. The bill then goes to the Sovereign and receives the Royal Assent. After that, it becomes an Act of Parliament and is Law. The House of Lords is the final court of appeal for civil cases in Britain, and for criminal cases in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. As the House of Lords also serves as the highest court in the land, the decision made in the House cannot be changed. Lords of Appeal or Law Lords are peers in the House of Lords who sit as the highest court of appeal, including the Lord Chancellor, and any peers who have held high judicial office or have themselves been Lord Chancellor. Lord Chancellor, or Lord High Chancellor as its full title, is the chief legal officer and also a member of the Cabinet. He acts as the Speaker of the House of Lords. The House of Commons can also be called the Commons Chamber or the Chamber of Commons. It can be shortened as the Commons or the House. It is the assembly of elected representatives of the Parliament. It is the more powerful of the two parts of the British Parliament, whose members are called Members of Parliament. A Member of Parliament is a person who has been elected by the adult population of a particular town or district to represent them in the House of Commons. A Member of Parliament can be simply called an MP.The main functions of the Parliament are to pass laws; to provide, by voting for taxation, the means of carrying on the work of government; to scrutinize government policy and administration, including proposals for expenditure; and to debate the major issues of the day. Parliament sits at Westminster. A meeting of the Parliament is called a sitting while a series of meetings of the Parliament is called a session. So a session is a period of time during which the Parliament regularly holds its meetings. A particular parliament is a particular period of time in which a parliament is doing its work, between two elections or between two periods of holiday. The House of Commons sits for about 175 days in the year and it is not in session during the summer months. The House has a maximum term of five years, at the end of which a general election must be held. The House meets regularly for five days each week. And each sitting officially starts from 14:30 in the afternoon to 22:00 at night from Mondays to Thursdays, and from 11:00 in the morning to 16:30 in the afternoon on Fridays. As the Commons is made up of opposing parties, all new bills must be passed by a majority vote.
