At one end of the debating chamber is the throne. During the State Opening of Parliament this is where the Queen sits and where she reads out the Queens Speech, which describes the laws which the current government plans to implement during the next year. This speech is written for the Queen by the Prime Minister. Along both sides of the room are the seats where the members of the House of Lords sit. These seats are red: this used to be the most expensive colour to create so traditionally it has been used by royalty and the richest members of society.

HOUSE OF COMMONS Along both sides of the House of Commons are the seats, which are green. At one end is the seat of an official known as the Speaker, whose job is to keep order and to manage the debates by deciding who should speak next (people who want to make a comment often stand to attract the speakers attention). On the speakers right-hand side sit the members of the current Government, and on the left hand side are members of the main opposition party. The distance between the two sides is the length of two drawn swords.
