New government to unveil more than 35 bills in King’s Speech

Labour promises to put “economic growth at the heart of its legislative agenda” on Wednesday, ahead of hosting European leaders at a summit on Thursday in another busy week for Sir Keir Starmer.

The new Labour government will unveil more than 35 bills during the first King’s Speech of its tenure, Downing Street has said.

Trailing the significant moment on Wednesday, which will see the King announce the party’s plans for power in a ceremony full of pomp, ministers promised to focus on economic growth and to ensure its legislation supported their mission to “rebuild Britain”.

The raft of bills will include promises on housebuilding, improving transport, increasing jobs and securing clean energy – reflecting Sir Keir Starmer’s “first steps” for government that he campaigned on during the general election.
