The Queen’s Speech: legislative programme 2012–2013
The Government used the Queen’s Speech to start its ‘fight-back’ following poor local election results for both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. The speech put ‘economic growth, justice and constitutional reform’ at the centre of the Government’s agenda. In the debate which followed, Prime Minister David Cameron asserted that the Queen’s Speech was about “building a society that rewards people who work hard and do the right thing”. Opposition Leader Ed Miliband countered “This speech offers nothing. No change, no hope is the real message of this Queen’s Speech.”
