Describe the British Parliament
Works in a large building called the Palace of Westminster aka The Houses of Parliament. There are offices, committee rooms , restaurants, bars , libraries and even some places of residence . Two large rooms: The House of Lords meet in one and the House of Commons in the other . The British Parliament is divided into two houses, but the House of Commons is obviously more important and only they are considered to be the MPs.
