A brief explanation of the main roles of Parliament
checking the work of the government: Parliament examines and challenges the work of the government. Parliament examines and challenges the work of the government. Both the House of Commons and the House of Lords use similar methods of scrutiny, although the procedures vary. The principal methods are questioning government ministers, debating and the investigative work of committees. The government can publicly respond to explain and justify policies and decisions.

making laws: Parliament is responsible for approving new laws (legislation). The government introduces most plans for new laws, or changes to existing laws - but they can originate from an MP, Lord or even a member of the public or private group. Before they can become law, both the House of Commons and House of Lords must debate and vote on the proposals.

representing UK citizens: For example, rise issue in the house of commons that matter to people; ask ministers question and make speeches or raise petitions; hold 'surgeries' and find out about people's problems; attend local functions and meet a wide range of people.
