{'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'quorum': [1, 0, 3, 0], 'meeting': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'members': [37, 11, 44, 71], 'ei': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'ther house': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'tenth': [2, 0, 4, 0], 'total number': [0, 0, 3, 0], 'thirds': [0, 1, 1, 2], 'house': [15, 3, 9, 18], 'fourth': [1, 0, 6, 4]}

The correct answer is option 1 - one-tenth of the total number of members of the House.

In order for a meeting to proceed and decisions to be made in either house of Parliament, a quorum needs to be present. A quorum refers to the minimum number of members that must be present for a meeting to be considered valid.

According to this question, until Parliament passes a law specifying otherwise, the quorum for either house of Parliament is one-tenth of the total number of members of the House. This means that at least one-tenth of the total members must be present for the meeting to proceed.

It`s worth noting that the quorum can be altered if Parliament passes a law to that effect. However, until such a law is passed, one-tenth of the total number of members is the required quorum.
