UK House of Lords

The House of Lords is the upper chamber of the UK Parliament, which consists of two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. It is made up of appointed members, including life peers, bishops, and hereditary peers. The House of Lords reviews legislation proposed by the House of Commons, suggesting amendments and debating important issues. Its role is to provide expertise and ensure thorough examination of laws, although it cannot ultimately block legislation. The House of Lords contributes to the UK's governance by bringing diverse perspectives and experience to the political process.
