What are the two Houses of Parliament?
- The Senate and the House of Representatives
- The House of Commons and the House of Lords
- The Upper Chamber and the Lower Chamber
- The House of Lords and the House of Bishops
Why this is the correct answer
The UK Parliament has two houses: the elected House of Commons, whose members are called MPs, and the House of Lords, whose members are unelected peers, bishops and judges. Both houses debate and scrutinise legislation. The House of Commons is the more powerful chamber and the one to which the government is accountable.
