Parliament

The correct answer is Parliament.

Therefore, some privileges continue to be governed by precedents of the British House of Commons (as they existed on 26th January 1950, the commencement of the Constitution) and rules made by the Houses of Parliament, as interpreted by courts in case of conflicts. Any law made by Parliament defining its privileges would be subject to the provisions of the Constitution, including the fundamental rights, although the relationship between privileges and fundamental rights has been a subject of judicial interpretation and debate.
