Every law passed in this country is made by Parliament, except case law which has developed over time through the courts.
Criminal, housing, consumer credit and finance, employment, divorce and marriage, traffic and highway, pub licensing, copyright, competition and merger, health and safety - everything.
Of course the European Courts have a big input into our legal system, but as I have already said, every law passed in this country is made by Parliament, except case law.
Your question is far too general to be answered properly here.

Not sure what's puzzling you. 'Types of law'. Parliament does what the link posted in the first answer says. It passes Acts of Parliament . An act is also known as a statute.We talk about 'statute law' when we mean laws passed by Parliament, Acts of Parliament. A lot of the law is the result of 'delegated legislation' (for which, see the link). Example:If you want to find the section in an Act of Parliament that says how many centimetres wide a speed limit sign must be , well, you won't. What you will find is an Act which provides that a senior minister (Secretary of State) shall set out the details in regulations which must be published. Those regulations are created and made law by Statutory Instrument under the power granted to the minister by the Act.
European law? They don't mean the laws of countries in Europe. They mean that law which is adopted into our law pursuant to treaty (agreement of countries) whereby the signatory countries agreed to do so. And if you do a little research you'll find all about what treaty or treaties there have been what effect that has and also how there are special appeal courts in Europe which rule on matters both concerning individual citiizens with grievances about their own government and courts and on arguments about such matters as trade agreements. The member states of the European Union are supposed to abide by the rulings.

Yes, I think the questioner wants the various stages of a bill from start to finish. Note the extent to which the House of Lords is and is not entitled to reject, modify, and debate bills and what the Commons may do on the occasions when bills are not accepted by the upper House.(Part is convention, part is statute)
Probably they'd like a brief bit about Private Members' Bills and the ten minute rule. Definitely on the power of the monarch and the convention that she not refuse a bill, you can add a happy bit of detail viz Queen Anne was the last monarch to refuse to sign 'la reyne le veult' to a bill (Not because she didn't like writing law French, but because that's how a monarch approves a bill and she was against that one. It involved raising militias in Scotland and she had the idea that a whole load of armed Scots might not be entirely loyal !)
You should definitely refer to delegated legislation (see the original link). It accounts for most of the law that we personally encounter in daily life (all that annoying detail) and can be quite important.It is, supposedly, subject to restraints (see the link)
Type of law might mean you to refer to our passing laws which we do under our treaty obligations (EU law) . These are to have member states conforming in some areas of law.
If time and space permit then a reference might be made, as an aside, to White Papers..
