The UK Parliament serves as the central legislative authority for the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies, and British Overseas Territories, with ultimate power over other political bodies. Based in London, it operates as a large government administration focused on making laws, overseeing the executive, and representing the public through its two houses. It comprises the House of Commons and the House of Lords and traces its current form to 1801. The institution maintains a substantial workforce to carry out its legislative, oversight, and procedural duties. In 2026, it continued to engage in policy scrutiny and public evidence gathering, exemplified by the House of Lords European Affairs Committee launching a Call for Evidence in March. The Parliament also maintains official channels and information resources for the public, including its website and social media presence.
