Life in the UK Test 30
During which period were the House of Lords and House of Commons established?
Correct Answer: Middle Ages
The House of Lords and House of Commons were established during the Middle Ages (the period roughly from 1066 to 1485).
By the 14th century, England's Parliament had evolved into a bicameral (two-chamber) institution.
The House of Lords comprised senior nobles, bishops and clergy, while the House of Commons comprised knights from the shires and representatives (burgesses) from the towns. This parliamentary structure has remained at the heart of UK governance ever since.
