Houses of Parliament and Big Ben Must See!
The Palace of Westminster which is also known as The Houses of Parliament is where new
laws have been debated and agreed by the Chambers of the House of Lords and the House
of Commons.
Not to be confused with Government, though Members of the Government are usually mem-
bers of Parliament too, the responsibilities of Parliament are to:
Debate the major issues of the day
Scrutinize government policy and administration
Examine proposals for new laws
While the Government uses the Parliament to bring new laws into force, Parliament also acts
as a platform to scrutinize what the Government does.
The Palace of Westminster is one of London's most spectacular buildings and a must see for
all visitors.
