The Government's new agenda has drawn a mixed reaction from Cumbrians after it was outlined in the Queen's Speech.
The speech revealed plans to offer more opportunities for people in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, with some focused on supporting the nation’s recovery, backing the NHS, levelling up and spreading opportunity.
The speech set out new laws as part of the prime minister’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, which aims to give people the skills, they need for well-paid jobs and opportunities to train throughout their lifetime, as well as new laws on a variety of issues such as internet safety, animal welfare and the environment.
