BRITISH PARLIAMENT

1. Britain has the oldest Parliament in the world. This institution has reflect-ed the class structure and economic basis of feudal and capitalist societies.

2. Parliament is held in the Palace of Westminster. This tradition dates back to Saxon times when the king called to this place a group of powerful barons who discussed with him matters of state. In 1215 King Henry III refused to accept Magna Carta. A group of powerful barons supported him. But Simon de Montfort defeated them and in 1265 called the first Parliament. From that time the king summoned Parliament and representatives of counties and cities together with the King's advisers from the clergy, and his supporters among the feudal barons met together.

3. As the class differences between the representatives and aristocracy became more marked, the division into the "Lords" and the "Commons" took place.

4. In the middle of the last century the House of Commons was a centre of real political power. Since those days the growth of the power of the Cabinet, based on the development of the modern party system has brought about a fundamental change.

5. The House of Commons doesn't control the Cabinet, the civil service or the armed forces. It is in fact a forum for criticism of the Government and for getting the information.
