Illustration for Parliament Act 2025

The Parliamentary Corporation has some jobs to do. You can think of these jobs as helping with the work of the Parliamentary Service. This includes making things easier for the Parliamentary Service to do its work. The Parliamentary Corporation can also buy, own, and sell land and other things that are needed for Parliament to work properly. When it comes to money and assets, the Parliamentary Corporation's things are treated as if they belong to the Parliamentary Service. This is for the purposes of the Public Finance Act 1989 and the Public Audit Act 2001. You can find more information about these acts by looking at the Public Finance Act 1989 and the Public Audit Act 2001.
