Proposed bills, covered a variety of sectors and industries, including banking, retail, commerce, utilities, public service, electoral reforms, and international affairs.
The queen’s speech highlighted another reform
bill that seeks to cut further the number of Lords in Parliament to “ensure
that majority of its members are elected,” reports BBC.
Also expected to be tackled is the passage of a
legislation allowing gay marriage, which already gained support from Prime
Minister David Cameron.
The Queen has also confirmed the reform of the
royal succession that she deemed is fitting for 21st century. Thus,
older daughters of the duke and duchess of Cambridge will have equal rights to
the throne.
