Sets out the governments plans for next year at the state opening of parliament with brexit taking centre welcome back to westminster. The queen has laid out stage as well as more money for the the conservative governments nhs and social care. Agenda for the year, following last weeks election win. Thats all from the bbc news at one. 00 03 47,280 4294966103 13 29,430 so, its goodbye from me. There are around 30 bills. Front and centre of those is delivering brexit by bringing the Withdrawal Agreement back to parliament to ratify the brexit deal agreed by the government in october. Might make lets hear what her majesty had to say. My governments priority is to deliver the United Kingdoms departure from the European Union on the 31st of january. My ministers will bring forward legislation to ensure the United Kingdoms exit on that date, and to make the most of the opportunities that this brings all the people of the United Kingdom. Thereafter, my ministers will seek a future relationship with the European Union, based on a Free Trade Agreement that benefits the whole of the United Kingdom. They will also begin trade negotiations with other leading global economies. The integrity and prosperity of the United Kingdom is of the utmost importance to my government. My ministers will work urgently to facilitate talks to restore devolved government in Northern Ireland. The environment also featured in the queens address. She noted the goverments ambitions to meet emissions targets, as well as protecting the environment for future generations. My government will continue to take steps to meet the world leading target of net zero Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2050. It will continue to lead the way in tackling Global Climate change, hosting the cop26 summit in 2020. To protect and improve the environment for future generations, a bill will enshrine, in law, environmental principles and legally binding targets, including for air quality. It will also ban the export of polluting Plastic Waste to countries outside the organisation for Economic Cooperation and development, and establish a new world leading independent regulator in statute. The queen detailed some of the proposed bills that will affect working families. My government will bring forward measures to support working families, raising the National Insurance threshold, and increasing the National Living wage. To ensure every child has access to a high quality education, my ministers will increase levels of funding per pupil in every school. Measures will be brought forward to encourage flexible working, to introduce the entitlement to leave for unpaid carers, and to help people save for later life. New measures will be brought forward to protect tenants, and to improve building safety. My government will take steps to support home ownership, including by making homes available at discount for local first time buyers. My ministers will develop legislation to improve internet safety for all. The government agenda also includes plans to provide extra funding for social care, as well as seeking Cross Party Consensus for long term reform so that nobody needing care should be forced to sell their home. My government will continue to invest in our gallant armed forces. My government will honour armed forces covenant, which will be further incorporated into law, and the nato commitment to spend at least 2 of National Income on defence. It will bring forward proposals to tackle vexatious claims that undermine our armed forces, and will continue to seek better ways of dealing with legacy issues that provide Better Outcomes for victims and survivors. My government will work to promote and expand the United Kingdoms influence in the world. An integrated security, defence and Foreign Policy review will be undertaken to reassess the nations place in the world, covering all aspects of international policy, from defence to diplomacy and development. My ministers will promote the United Kingdoms interests, including freedom of speech, human rights, and the rule of law. My government will work closely with International Partners to help solve their most complex International Security issues, and to promote peace and security globally. Joining me now is the former clerk of the house of commons, lord lisvane. Thank you for coming along. A lot of people will be a bit disappointed to see the queen speech without the regalia and carriage. What is the reason for paring it down. Isjust quite soon after the last one, so there is an element of repetition perhaps. There was no shortage of ceremony in the chamber. Ito ebbing when youre talking about the queen . The queen is always elegant and stylish. But mcintyre must of the legislative that has been set out over the years, we have a government and a leader that can lead after three years of relative torpor. One of the flash points that will be in the coming months . A lot of those 30 bills will be big and complex bills. There is quite a scrutineer challenge ahead. It doesnt matter that the government has got its big majority. It will get its way in the end, but it will also have to try and persuade, and it really depends on the business managerss approach to how bills are programmed. It depends on the house of lords as a scrutiny to an extent. I see the session as being a long one, because of course we are starting it very unusually, and not for a hundred yea rs unusually, and not for a hundred years in december. I expect this to go on until 2021, so there is enough a lot of time and a lot to pack into it. The state of the union is something that will have to be addressed at some point here. Did something that concerns me a great deal. The last session i tabled the act of union bill which is based on the work of the group. It chose to rebalance the constitutional settle m e nt rebalance the constitutional settlement so that we have as it we re settlement so that we have as it were a better map devolution and not top down. Were a better map devolution and not topdown. Which is how Nicola Sturgeon would say it is being run and that is the problem. The forces which are increasing intensity as that are going to have to be addressed by this parliament, such as the difference between referendum results in england and in scotland. The feeling that in parts of england they are disenfranchised, and what might be the solution to that. Might it be the development of city mayors or the development of regional assemblies. There are a whole lot of things and some of them canvassing the bill. White maximum pass that we have at the moment is that the Prime Minister is saying he does not want a second scottish referendum. Nicola sturgeon says that her argument is an unarguable right to hold one. This could become quite messy. Yes, i think it will become real politics. It may be that Nicola Sturgeon waits for an additional buttressing of her position, with the result of the Scottish Parliament elections in 2021. Right backin Parliament Elections in 2021. Right back in times of the feel of this place, where nothing seems to get done, at least from the outside, is this going to be a hive of activity . I think it will be. As you know, parliaments over the years have been called different names depending on their character. I think i would call the last parliament the gridlocked parliament. Gridlocked, i think, expressed theirfrustration that people had that nothing was happening. The fixed term parliaments act was part of the spanner in the works there. I certainly welcomed the proposal to scrap it. Back to back it is not as simple as that, though is it . Yes, you can repeal it, but you are replacing the seven t of the government. You need to reinstall that in a new real appeal. Drafting what that prerogative consists of, sounds a bit nerdish, but it is quite important and will be extremely interesting. Will look forward to talking about that with you. Lets pick up on that show of disenfranchisement. Steve rotheram is the labour mayor for the liverpool region. Hejoins me now. But i got a sense for what you have heard today that that issue are just franchises something that will be addressed . I wish i had got that from the queen speech. It was back to the future queen speech for me. It was an admittance of the failure of tory austerity and a wasted decade, whereby they have noted that they didnt put enough money into they didnt put enough money into the nhs and infrastructure. There wasnt an awful lot for us in the Liverpool City Region to be grateful for her to look forward to, that is because we still still living the last government generally grasp the opportunities that devolution presents to it to work with us, because we know generally what is going to work in our area, then we are going to lose out again. Well have five more years where areas like ours will feel disenfranchised. Given that the Prime Minister himself has said that he knows that many of those traditionally labour labour voters have switched to conservatives, that they are on loan, he wants to keep some obviously. Do you get a chance that do you get a sense that that will change things . You have to be hopeful that a government of any persuasion de wet august government should do and rebalance the economy. I believe that people felt left behind. I believe the seeds of brexit were equally so vital to westminster as they were in strasbourg and brussels, because people feel left behind. If you choke concentric circles for the centre of london outwards you will see how people feel. Unfortunately, that resentment towards the Political Class resulted in many people voting tory for the first time. We have to do what we can do to win them back, and we have to rebuild trust in politics per se. Im hoping that Liverpool City Region will prove that devolution is an experiment that is worth pursuing. If the Prime Minister picked up the phone and rang you and said what do you think i should do to start that ball rolling . What are the priorities . Two very simple ones. The first ones he needs to do something in transport. People in the north facing chaos. We have two franchises the transport amongst bus and unveiled that are running at just about half of the scheduled services, so passengers are facing travel chaos on a daily basis, and that has to stop. If it was happening in london, borisjohnson and the government would be doing something about it. There will be questions in the house. The second bit is about skills. We now face a skills crisis. We have skills shortages in certain skills gaps. The government cant decide from a command and control perspective what is best in an area like ours. I will be questions in the house. The second bit is about skills. We now face a skills crisis. We have skills shortages in certain skills gaps. The government cant decide from a command and control perspective what is best in an area like ours. Only we the evidence base. Unfortunately, the department for education wont even respond to us about how we can deliver as Liverpool City Region on behalf i have. We are asking for what is already there and distribution of equity and fairness. I think both, power and resource, cant exist in isolation. When not both. Your site Boris Johnson cant exist in isolation. When not both. Your site borisjohnson as being the mayor, he was the mayor of london, and when i have spoken with him, told me that he understands the impediments that stop areas like us achieving theirfull impediments that stop areas like us achieving their full potential. He understands that devolution is part of the solution. If that is the case, w
