The first thing to point out here is that the Parliament of England does not actually exist. It is the Parliament of The United Kingdom. I would also point out that there are three components to the Government of The United Kingdom, which is The House of Commons (commonly referred to as Parliament) The House of Lords (Or the Upper Chamber) and The Queen. In The House of Commons itself, there are 659 Members, called Members of Parliament (Or MP’s). Of that, 119 are female. There are 408 MP’s belonging to the Labour Party, 162 Conservatives, 54 Liberal Democrats, 9 MP’s between the Scottish National Party and the Plaid Cymu, 6 Democratic Unionists, 5 Ulster Unionists, 4 members of Sinn Fein, 3 Social Democratic & Labour, 1 Independent, 1 Independent Conservative, 1 Independent Labour and then there is the Speaker and 3 Deputy Speakers. (Who do not normally vote) In the House of Lords (Upper Chamber) there are currently 705 members. (This includes 14 members who are currently on Leaves of Absence) The Conservatives currently have 155 Life Peers, 39 Hereditary Peers who are elected by the party and 8 Hereditary Peers who hold office. The Labour Party has 197 Life Peers, 2 Hereditary Peers elected by the Party and 2 Hereditary Peers who hold office. The Liberal Democrats have 64 Life Peers, 2 Hereditary Peers elected by the Party and 2 Hereditary Peers. The “Crossbenchers” have 151 Life Peers, 29 Elected by the Party, 2 Hereditary Peers who hold office and 2 Royal Office Holders. The Bishops have 26 members of the House of Lords. And falling in to the “Other” category (Who usually are members that are either not affiliated with a party or are part of a party that is not “officially” recognized as a Party) are 9 Life Peers and 1 Hereditary who is elected by a Party. By type of Peerage, the members break down as; 26 Archbishops and Bishops 28 Life Peers under the Appellate Jurisdiction Act of 1876 561 Life Peers under the Life Peerages Act of 1958 90 Life Peers under the House of Lords Act of 1999 = 705 Members The last and *I* feel the most important part of the Parliament is the Crown. These three components make up The Parliament of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
