After 6 days of debate, last night the House of Commons voted to approve The Queen’s Speech, laying out our vision for how we level-up the entire country and build back better after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Here's some highlights of the Government's legislative agenda for the coming session of Parliament, as laid out in The Queen's Speech:
- New laws to level-up the UK as we will build back after COVID-19.
- Our victims bill will guarantee support for those affected by crime.
- Our planning bill will create a simpler, faster process to get more homes and infrastructure built.
- Our national insurance contributions bill will support more veterans into work.
- Our skills bill will enshrine the Lifetime Skills Guarantee into law
- Our armed forces bill will further incorporate the Armed Forces Covenant into law.
