UK residents and overseas visitors may watch debates for free on current issues or proposed new laws in both Houses by visiting the public galleries, which are open to the public when the Houses are sitting.
From the gallery, visitors can see the two sets of green benches on which Government and Opposition MPs sit facing each other during debates. Also visible are a number of gifts from Commonwealth countries, such as the Speaker's Chair, which is a gift of Australia, and the Despatch Boxes, which were presented to the Commons by New Zealand.
