Parliament is the supreme legislative body of the United Kingdom. It meets at the Palace of Westminster, London. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the UK. Parliament is bicameral but has three parts, consisting of the sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. In theory, the Crown normally acts on the advice of the prime minister, and the powers of the House of Lords are limited to only delaying legislation; thus power is de facto vested in the House of Commons.
