Who makes UK laws?
Laws in the UK are made by Parliament, which consists of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, with royal assent from the monarch. A government, like Margaret Thatcher's in 1985, proposes new laws or changes to existing ones, which then go through a detailed process of debate and voting before becoming law.
