Queen's Speech 9 May 2012: On-the-day briefing

After a busy two-year first session for the coalition Government, this year's Queen's Speech is thinner than usual, containing significantly fewer bills than the 23 announced in the 2010 Queen's Speech. The legislation included in today's programme is detailed below, but we expect this year-long session will be dominated by the House of Lords Reform Bill, with the Queen stating that her Government would be focusing on "economic growth, justice and constitutional reform".
