Перевести,,не через переводчик: making new laws: bills and acts the functions of parliament are: making laws; providing money for the government through taxation; examining government policy, administration and spending; debating political questions. every year parliament passes about a hundred laws directly, by making acts of parliament. because this can be a long process, parliament sometimes passes a very general law and leaves a minister to fill in the details. in this way, it indirectly passes about 2,000 additional rules and regulations. no new law can be passed unless it has completed a number of stages in the house of commons and the house of lords. the monarch also has to give a bill the royal assent, which is now just a formality. since 1707 no sovereign has refused a bill.
