what is the name of parliament of britain?
house of lords
the parliament of great britain was formed in 1707 following the ratification of the treaty of union by acts of union passed by the parliament of england and the parliament of scotland, both acts of union stating, "that the united kingdom of great britain be represented by one and the same parliament to be styled the parliament of great britain". at the start of the 19th century, parliament was further enlarged by acts of union ratified by the parliament of great britain and the parliament of ireland that abolished the latter and added 100 irish mps and 32 lords to the former to create the parliament of the united kingdom of great britain and ireland. the royal and parliamentary titles act 1927 formally amended the name to the "parliament of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland", five years after the secession of the irish free state in 1922.

the king's title in the irish free state was exactly the same as it was elsewhere in the british empire, being from 1922 to 1927: "by the grace of god, of the united kingdom of great britain and ireland and of the british dominions beyond the seas king, defender of the faith, emperor of india" and, from 1927 to 1937: "by the grace of god, of great britain, ireland and the british dominions beyond the seas king, defender of the faith, emperor of india". the change in the king's title was effected under an act of the parliament of the united kingdom called the royal and parliamentary titles act, 1927, intended to update the name of the united kingdom as well as the king's title to reflect the fact that most of the island of ireland had left the united kingdom. the act therefore provided that "parliament shall hereafter be known as and styled the parliament of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland [instead of the parliament of the united kingdom of great britain and ireland]" and "in every act passed and public document issued after the passing of this act the expression 'united kingdom' shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean great britain and northern ireland."
