United Kingdom House of Lords

The House of Lords is the UK's upper parliamentary chamber, providing expert review and revision of legislation passed by the House of Commons. It consists of appointed members, including life peers, bishops, and some hereditary peers. The Lords examine laws in detail, suggest improvements, and ensure legislation is well-founded. While it cannot permanently block bills, it can delay or amend them, playing a key role in the UK's legislative process to enhance quality and scrutiny.
