The first Representative Assembly of the Colony of Newfoundland was elected in 1833 and named the House of Assembly. This name continued to be used for the elected Chamber when the Colony was granted Responsible Government in 1855. In February, 1934 the Constitution of the Dominion of Newfoundland was suspended. At the time of suspension there were two Houses of Parliament namely : the Legislative Counsel, the Upper House and the House of Assembly, the Lower elected House. When Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, the Terms of Union as set forth in the British North American Act of 1949(now cited the Newfoundland Act) provided that the Constitution of the Legislature of Newfoundland as it existed immediately prior to February of 1934 would continue as the Constitution and the Legislature of the Province from the date of union. Although the Legislative Counsel was not continued at the time of Confederation, the Lower House or the House of Assembly became the elected Parliament of the Province and the name House Assembly continued to be used after 1949 in the same manner as it was originally used in 1833. Therefore, the Parliament of Newfoundland and Labrador is referred to as the House of Assembly and not the Legislative Assembly of the Province. 2, record 1, English, - House%20of%20Assembly

[...] "Lores" comienza con mayúscula en "Cámara de los Lores", pues los nombres de organismos e instituciones se escriben con iniciales mayúsculas, tal como indica la Ortografía de la lengua española. En caso de que "lores" se emplee como denominación alternativa de "Cámara de los Lores", es adecuado escribir dicha palabra en mayúscula: May teme otro tropiezo en los "Lores", esto es, que la primera ministra teme tropezar en la "Cámara de los Lores". 2, record 2, Spanish, - C%C3%A1mara%20de%20los%20Lores
