Instructions

Tell the Beavers:

The UK Parliament is made up of two groups of people.
They are called:
• The House of Commons
• The House of Lords
(Show pictures of Parliament, House of Commons, House of Lords.)

The House of Commons is made up of 650 people called Members of Parliament (MPs).

MPs are voted for by adults in the UK in a big vote. This vote is called a general election.

After the general election we have the State Opening of Parliament when King Charles makes a speech (show picture).

The two Houses in UK Parliament work together to:
• make laws
• check what the Government is doing

The Government leads the country.

MPs talk about ideas and problems together to make sure our country runs well.
