House of Commons Effectivenss

To what extent is the House of Commons effective at carrying out its various functions?

The House of Commons is the name of the elected lower house of the bicameral parliaments of the United Kingdom. In the UK, the Commons holds much more legislative power than the upper house of parliament, the House of Lords. The House of Commons has many main functions, with a few of the main ones being: its legislative role, its scrutiny, and the redress of grievances.   Members of the House of Commons must be 18 years of age or older.

Members were paid beginning in 1911.

It alone has the right to impose taxes and to vote money to, or withhold it from, the various public departments and services. The House of Lords has only infrequently held up major legislation passed by the Commons, and the British sovereign almost automatically provides the Royal Assent to any bill passed. Indeed, the last bill to be rejected by a monarch was the Scottish Militia Bill of 1707, which was vetoed by Queen Anne. Acts of Parliament are not subject to judicial review. The passage of legislation is the House of Commons’ primary function.
