The House of Lords is the upper house of Parliament. Like the lower house, the House of Commons, it meets in the Palace of Westminster. The Lords is not elected, but it's members are appointed by the Monarch. Members appointed are usually on recommendation of the House of Lords Appointments Commission and have lots of experience.
The House of Lords holds the government, and parliament, to account by scrutinising bills. Peers regularly review and amend bills before they reach Royal Assent, seeking agreement with the House of Commons on the final text.
