House of Commons

The House of Commons and the House of Lords were the two houses of England's, later the United Kingdom's, legislature: the Houses of Parliament. The houses ratified laws and gave assent to British monarch if they wished to raise taxes. (GAME: The Gunpowder Plot) They met at the Palace of Westminster in London, directly beside Big Ben; popularly, the palace was called "Houses of Parliament" or just "Parliament".

The dates of 2-14 September 1752 were "lost" with the conversion from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. The London existence of that period was purchased from George II by Grandfather Paradox on behalf of Faction Paradox in the Gregorian Compact, and became their heartland known as the Eleven-Day Empire. The Empire was governed from the chamber of the House of Commons; the speaker's chair was empty, waiting for Grandfather Paradox's return. (PROSE: Interference)
