British House of Lords

The British House of Lords is the UK's upper legislative chamber, serving as a revising and scrutinizing body alongside the elected House of Commons. Members include life peers, bishops, and some hereditary peers, chosen for expertise, experience, or religious roles. The Lords review and suggest amendments to legislation proposed by Parliament, often providing specialized insight. It does not have the power to veto legislation outright but can delay or suggest improvements. Its role is to ensure thorough debate and refinement of laws, contributing to a balanced and informed legislative process.
