Wikipedia: House of Commons of the United Kingdom
The House of Commons (domestically known as the Commons) is the lower house and de facto primary chamber of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Like the upper house, the House of Lords, it meets in the Palace of Westminster.
 
The Commons is an elected body consisting of 650 members known as members of Parliament (MPs). MPs are elected to represent constituencies by the first-past-the-post system and hold their seats until Parliament is dissolved.

Ken Clarke, affectionately known as ‘Father of the House’... is actually a greedy lying EU snake!
And the House of Commons would be better named the ‘EU House of Corruption’!
