The Queen's Speech

The Prime Minister has announced that there will be a Queen’s Speech on 14 October, bringing forward a new bold and ambitious legislative agenda: investing in the NHS, reducing violent crime and cutting the cost of living.


  •  Having a new Queen’s Speech will enable us to put forward a fresh domestic programme, while also ensuring that there is good time before and after the European Council for Parliament to further consider Brexit issues. 
  •  If a deal with the EU is forthcoming, Parliament will then have the opportunity to pass the Withdrawal Agreement Bill required for ratification ahead of leaving the EU on 31 October. 


This has been the longest Parliamentary session in close to 400 years and in recent months one of the least active. Having a Queen’s Speech will enable the Prime Minister and the Government to focus on crucial public priorities – investing in the NHS, reducing violent crime and cutting the cost of living.
