In septation of power there are three bodies that is been given power to handle all

executive and legislative branches overlap (Harrison, 2017). Separation of power clearly
mentions that no department is allowed to interfere in the functioning of each other. This means

represented by the members in House of Commons and also analysis has to be done by House of
Lords. After this in order to introduce a new law three stages of reading is followed. Salisbury
