The House of Lords debates legislation (introduced by either the Upper or Lower House) and has some power to amend (change) or reject the bills. However the power of the Upper House to reject a bill that has prior been passed by the House of Commons is restricted by the Parliament Acts.

Which is the more important house of the British Parliament?
Both the House of Commons and the House of Lords play important roles in the political system of the United Kingdom.The House of Commons is the actual seat of the Government of the United Kingdom and of elected Members of Parliament. They run the country and draw up new legislation and laws they think will benefit the people and the nation. This legislation is debated and voted on in the House of Commons before being passed to the House of Lords.The House of Lords is made up of Peers appointed by the Monarch. Their job is to debate legislation once the legislation has passed the vote in the House of Commons and then vote on it themselves. If it passes vote in the Lords the bill is made in to law once it has received Royal Ascension from the Monarch. If it fails to pass vote in the Lords it is passed back to the Commons to be re-worked.However under The Parliament Act 1911 & 1949 the House of Commons is able to pass legislation in to law without the approval of the Lords if the Parliament Act is cited by the Prime Minister and attached to the bill. This gives the House of Commons supremacy over the House of Lords. This is in-line with the idea of modern democracy by giving the elected House the most power.
