All legislative bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. The approval of both chambers is required to pass any legislation, which then may only become law by being signed by the King (or, King vetoed the bill, both houses of Parliament then re-pass the bill, but by a two-thirds majority of each chamber, in which case the bill becomes law without the King's signature). The powers of Parliament are limited to those enumerated in the Constitution; all other powers are reserved to the individual countries and there people.

Government Departments

The heads of the 20 departments, chosen by the Minister-President and approved with the "advice and consent" of the House of Lords, form a council of advisers generally known as the "Cabinet". Once confirmed, these "cabinet officers" serve at the pleasure of the Minister-President and HM the King.
Judicial branch
The Judiciary, under Article III of the Constitution, explains and applies the laws. This branch does this by hearing and eventually making decisions on various legal cases.
Crown

The King has a direct part in governing the country but remains neutral in political affairs. However legal authority of the state that is vested in the Crown remains the source of the executive power used by HM Central Government. In addition, the Crown also possesses a body of power called the Royal Declamation which can be used for a vast number of purposes, from issues or withdrawal of passports to declaring war with approval from Parliament.
