(Central News Agency, London, 17th, by reporter Chen Yun-yu) Legislative Yuan President Han Kuo-yu, who led a cross-party delegation of lawmakers on a visit to the United Kingdom from the 13th to the 16th, returned to Taiwan today. Han confirmed that during the visit, he met with Sir Lindsay Hoyle, Speaker of the UK House of Commons. This is the first-ever meeting between a President of Taiwan's Legislative Yuan and a Speaker of the UK House of Commons, setting a precedent in Taiwan-UK parliamentary diplomacy. The legislative delegation arrived at Taoyuan Airport on the afternoon of the 17th, Taipei time. In a joint media interview, Han mentioned that at the 'parliamentary speaker to parliamentary speaker' level, he has had direct meetings with the President of the French Senate and the Speaker of the British House of Commons, and these meetings 'can be publicly announced.' As for sensitive individuals who wished not to have the meetings publicized, the delegation fully respected their wishes. Before heading to the UK, the delegation had visited France for several days starting from the 10th. The President of the Legislative Yuan is equivalent to a parliamentary speaker. However, unlike Taiwan's unicameral Legislative Yuan, the UK Parliament is bicameral, divided into the House of Lords and the House of Commons. In 2018, then-Legislative Yuan President Su Jia-chyuan met with the Speaker of the UK House of Lords during a delegation visit to the UK. He also met with Hoyle at the time, but Hoyle was then the Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons. The UK House of Commons, composed of elected Members of Parliament, holds more substantial political influence than the House of Lords. It is the main arena for debates and questions, and the vast majority of cabinet ministers are also members of the House of Commons. The British-Taiwanese All-Party Parliamentary Group held a welcome reception for the legislative delegation in the House of Commons on the 14th. This occurred j
