About
The supreme legislative body of the United Kingdom responsible for enacting laws and overseeing government. It is the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and may also legislate for the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories. Since 1999, varying degrees of powers have been devolved to the national parliaments of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, with Scotland having the most powerful devolved parliament. The central UK Parliament retains the power to legislate in reserved matters, including broadcasting, defence, and currency. It appeared before the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee in 2018.
