  • BBC Guide to Parliament (Updated to 2021)
    BBC Guide to Parliament (Updated to 2021) There has been a parliament at Westminster since the 13th Century. Today it remains the centre of British government, boasting a colourful history and frequently adding new chapters. Parliament is the place where politicians meet to decide laws and make decisions on running the UK, although some issues in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are now dealt with by their respective parliaments and assemblies. Decisions on setting taxes to fund the government's policies are also FACT: MPs and made in Parliament. Lords do not refer to The business of Parliament takes place in two "houses": the elected each other's debating chambers House of Commons and the House of Lords, whose members are by name - instead mostly appointed. they refer to "the Their work is similar: making laws (legislation), checking the work of other place”. the government (scrutiny), and debating current issues. Generally, the decisions made in one house have to be approved by the other, but the Commons is by far the more powerful of the two chambers. No longer 646; now 650 Now between 700 - 800 Term Definition Minister Backbencher Whip Crossbencher Law Lord Opposition Shadow Government The government is normally formed by the leader of the party that wins the most seats in the general election. If the party wins an overall majority (more than half – i.e. at least 326) of the seats, the government will comprise some of the elected members belonging to that party - and possibly some of its members in the House of Lords. If the leading party does not have an overall majority, its leader may have to approach other parties to enable it to form a minority government (Recent example: in 2017 Theresa May’s minority government was supported for 2 years by the DUP (Democratic Unionist Party) from N.Ireland) or form a coalition and allow the coalition partners to have representation in the government( e.g.

  • A Short History of the BBC
    A short history of the BBC A Birth of the BBC At 6 p.m. on 14 November 1922, Arthur Burrows read a news bulletin. It included a report of a train robbery and an important political meeting, some sports results, and a weather forecast. This was the first ever broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation, or BBC. It had a staff of just four, and its mission was to ‘educate, inform and entertain’. B Entertainment for the ears By 1930, half the homes in Britain had a radio. They could listen not only to the news, but also to dramas, classical music concerts, chat shows, children’s programmes and live sports coverage. When the Second World War started in 1939, BBC radio was a very important source of news, and of entertainment to cheer people up in difficult times. C Going global The BBC World Service began in 1932, mostly for the British people who lived in Africa and Asia. During the Second World War, it broadcast in many different languages and had large numbers of European listeners. Today it broadcasts by radio, internet and satellite in twenty-seven languages. 188 million people listen every week. D From radio to TV Television broadcasting had begun in 1936, but stopped during the Second World War. When it returned in 1946, viewers could enjoy anything from Disney’s Mickey Mouse cartoons to coverage of the Olympic Games. In 1953, 20 million people crowded round the country’s 3 million TV screens to watch Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. After that, the popularity of TV grew fast.
