| Palace of Westminster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4279 words) |
 | The Palace of Westminster, known also as the Houses of Parliament, is where the two Houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (the House of Lords and the House of Commons) conduct their sittings. |
| Other parliaments in Commonwealth nations have copied the colour scheme under which the Lower House is associated with green, and the Upper House with red. |
| In 1970, for example, some individuals threw a canister of tear gas into the Chamber of the House of Commons to protest against conditions in Northern Ireland, and in the same cause in 1978 manure was thrown by, among others, the daughter of Dom Mintoff. |
