What to look out for in the first King's speech under new UK government

Following the 4 July general election victory, a key task for the new Labour administration ahead of the parliamentary summer recess is to set out their programme for government in the King’s Speech.

This takes place on Wednesday, July 17, when – as is traditional – King Charles will deliver the address as part of the state opening of Parliament.

It marks the formal start of a new parliamentary five-year term and allows the Prime Minister and his cabinet to outline their priorities and plans for the coming months or years.
