The diagram showing the number of MPs from each party is incorrect - Plaid Cymru is shown as having 8 members instead of 3, and the DUP have been left out completely. MFlet1 (talk) 15:19, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

MPs consider and propose new laws, and can scrutinise government policies by asking ministers questions about current issues either in the Commons Chamber or in Committees. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jorden san (talk • contribs) 07:46, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

– Looking through Category:National lower houses there is no clear consistency as whether to use [Legislative body] of [Country] or [Legislative body] (Country). However, to me it looks like most of those articles do use [Body] (Country) format. And I'm going to undertake an effort to have most moved to that format unless A) Their name is unambiguous; or B) There's a different argument supporting retention of the "of (Country)".
For this specific request, there is other evidence that would support this. Both of their respective speakers exist at Speaker of the House of Commons (United Kingdom) and Speaker of the House of Commons (Canada). Additionally, the parenthetical disambiguator allows these links to be more easily WP:PIPED. estar8806 (talk) ★ 12:04, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
