The UK Parliament has two Houses that work on behalf of UK citizens to check and challenge the work of Government, make and shape effective laws, and debate/make decisions on the big issues of the day.
The House of Commons formally scrutinises the Government through its Committees and Prime Minister’s Questions, when members ask questions of the prime minister; the house gives other opportunities to question other cabinet ministers.
The House of Lords is the second chamber of UK Parliament. It plays a crucial role in examining bills, questioning government action and investigating public policy.
Lord Bruce has been a member of the UK Parliament for almost 40 years. Having been elected 7 times as an MP under the House of Commons as a Liberal Democrat under Gordon since 1983-2015.
