Boris Johnson s Government has set out its proposals for the year ahead - including an emergency plan to clear a backlog of almost five million patients requiring NHS treatment.

Legislation to restore the balance of power between the executive, legislature and the courts was announced in the Queen s speech today - ahead of the outcome of the government s consultation and the independent review into the working of the Human Rights Act. A Judicial Review Bill is among 31 pieces of legislation to be presented by the government in the new parliamentary session.

In what is expected to be the biggest shake-up of the planning system in decades local authorities would be forced to set new zones for housing. Meanwhile a Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill would end the practice of ground rents for new leasehold properties.
