The House of Commons is normally more independent of the government than the House of Lords:
Correct Answer: False
This statement is False — it has the statement reversed.
It is the House of Lords that is generally more independent of the government than the House of Commons.
This is because members of the Lords are not elected and therefore do not rely on party support or voter approval; they are free to vote against the government's wishes more readily. The House of Commons, by contrast, is made up of elected MPs who typically follow party whips.
