Five things to expect from the new UK government
14 Jun 17
After an astonishing general election that delivered a hung UK parliament, there has been nothing but political uncertainty in recent weeks. All eyes now turn to the delayed Queen’s Speech on 19 June, setting out the legislative programme for this year. Click on the arrows in picture below to see five things likely to come up in her speech.
The UK government is unlikely to grasp the social care nettle in the Queen’s speech, says Cameron.
“Conservative proposals for individual contributions towards social care costs went down like a lead balloon with voters, so we don’t expect this nettle to be grasped in the Queen’s Speech.
“An ageing population means social care funding needs to be tackled urgently, but expect further consultations before we get any hard promises from government.
“We hope the government will aim for cross-party consensus before arriving at a clear, fair and sustainable deal between the individual and the state,” he said.
