Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

In the UK a Money Bill must originate in the House of Commons, so "Money Bill can be presented first in the House of Lords." is the incorrect statement.

The rest are correct. Under the Parliament Act 1911, if the Lords do not pass a Money Bill within one month of receiving it, it goes for Royal Assent without their consent, so the Lords cannot hold it up for more than a month. The Speaker of the House of Commons certifies whether a Bill is a Money Bill. Until October 2009 the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords was the UK's final court of appeal; the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 transferred that role to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.
