Topic: Canterbury (UK Parliament constituency)


  
  Encyclopedia: UK Parliament   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The British Parliament is often called the "Mother of Parliaments," as the legislative bodies of many nations—most notably, those of the members of the Commonwealth —are modeled on it.
Thus, each Parliament is separately numbered, the present Parliament being the Fifty-Third Parliament of the United Kingdom (that is to say, the fifty-third Parliament summoned since the formation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801).
Parliament controls the executive by passing or rejecting its Bills and by forcing Ministers of the Crown to answer for their actions, either at "Question Time" or during meetings of the parliamentary committees.

 Parliament of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The three components of Parliament are supposed to be kept separate from each other; no individual may form a part of more than one component of Parliament.
Under the Parliament Act, if the House of Commons passes a public bill in two successive sessions, and the House of Lords rejects them both times, then the Commons may direct that the bill be presented to the Sovereign for his or her Assent, disregarding the rejection of the Bill in the House of Lords.
Legally, Parliament's sovereignty has not been curtailed; however, in a political sense, its own Acts have reduced Parliament’s sovereignty, especially the European Communities Act 1972 (UK), which made the UK a member of the EU.

The Westminster Parliament is the UK Parliament, containing MPs from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
But if they got their own parliament again, then they could point to it knowing it was originally founded in 1153 and existed as the very Mother of Parliaments and the seed bed of modern democracy, and proudly say, that’s part of what we’ve achieved as the English nation.
Secondly, the UK Parliament would naturally retain responsibilities for the major matters concerning the whole, like defence, major taxation, foreign relations, matters of macro economics and matters of trade and transport which affect the whole of the UK.

Civil servants and officials, rather than being motivated to increase regulatory requirements, would in fact be keen to ensure that their proposals could not be overturned in court because they went further than those in other EU states.
I hope that, similarly, UK embassies abroad in each EU member state would be obliged to discover more about the status of legislation in that country and feed back that information for the purposes of our good governance.
