The Houses of Parliament
Great Britain is a monarchy, but the powers of the Queen are limited by the Parliament, which consists of two Chambers, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
Everything in the country officially is done in the name of the Queen (or King), but, in reality, the Prime Minister is responsible for the policy conducted by the Parliament. Peers sit in the House of Lords; in the House of Commons representatives of the people of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland take their seats.
The focal point in the Chamber of the House of Lords is the gilded Throne. The Queen enters the Palace of Westminster only on the day of the State Opening of Parliament at the beginning of a session. Crowned and wearing many of the finest Crown Jewels, she makes her speech from the Throne in the House of Lords.
Before the Throne in the House of Lords, and dividing the benches, is the Woolsack upon which the Lord Chancellor presides over the lords. By tradition the Woolsack is stuffed with wool from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and from Commonwealth countries. The Peers' benches, covered in red leather, are arranged in five rows on either side of the House. Members of the Government and their supporters are to the right of the Throne, and those of the Opposition to the left. The galleries are reserved for diplomats and distinguished strangers or guests, and reporters.
Before every sitting of the House of Commons, the Speaker wearing wig and gown walks in procession to the Chamber from his residence within the Royal Palace. The benches in the House of Commons are covered in green leather. The floor of the House is covered by a green carpet bearing on either side a red stripe, over which no Member may cross when addressing the House. The front bench on the Speaker's right is for the Prime Minister and the leading members of the Government. The Leader of Opposition and his supporters are on the Speaker's left.
The Party which obtains the majority of seats in the House is called the Government and the others the Opposition. The Opposition criticize the bills introduced by the Government.
The two leading parties in Great Britain are the Labour Party and the Conservative Party.
The Houses of Parliament are among the most admired buildings in Europe. They are also called the Palace of Westminster. The Palace of Westminster includes the H6use of Lords, the House of Commons, Westminster Hall, the Clock Tower, the Victoria Tower, various committee rooms, residences, offices, etc.
The famous clock Tower houses «Big Ben» - the clock named after Sir Benjamin Hall under whose direction the construction of the clock was conducted. People call the clock Big Ben, but the name really belongs to the bell on which the clock strikes the hours. A light at the top of the clock Tower shows when Parliament is sitting at night
The most important part of a Prime Minister's job is Cabinet-making. The Prime Minister has considerable individual power to introduce and control policies and to change the Cabinet by appointing new ministers.
The Prime Minister lives and works in the official residence, No. 10 Downing Street, London. This is a large house in a small street, where
many of the departments have their offices, a very short distance from the Houses of Parliament.
