THE WORLD | PARLIAMENT

OF BRITAIN

The medieval kings were expected to meet all royal expenses, private and public, out oi their revenue. If extra resources were needed for an emergency, such as war, the Sovereign would seek to persuade his barons in the Great Council — a gathering of leading men which met several times a year — to grant aid. During the 13^th century several English kings found the private revenues and baronial aids insufficient to meet the expenses of government. They therefore summoned not only the great feudal magnates but also representatives of countries, cit­ies and towns, primarily to get their assent to extraordi­nary taxation. In this way the Great Council came to include those who were summoned by name (those who, broadly speaking, were to form the House of Lords) and those who were representatives of communities — the Commons. The two parts, together with the Sovereign, became known as 'Parliament' (the term originally meant a meeting for parley or discussion).

The three elements which make up Parliament — the Sovereign, the House of Lords and the elected House of Commons are constituted on different principles. They meet together only on occasions of symbolic significance such as the State Opening of Parliament, when the Com-

mons are summoned by the Sovereign to the House of
Lords. p

The main 'unctions of Parliament are:

• 
  to pass laws;
  

• 
  to pro\ ide (by voting for taxation) the means of
  carrying on the work of government;
  
• 
  to scrutinize government policy and administra­
  tion, including proposals for expenditure; and
  

• 
  to debate the major issues of the day.
  

• 
  removing the right of hereditary peers to sit and
  vote in the chamber;
  
• 
  establishing a transitional House with reformed
  arrangements for the nomination of life peers; and
  

• 
  initiating wide-ranging longer-term reform.
