The Government’s legislative agenda for the new Parliament has been set out in the Queen’s Speech.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson billed it as a plan for “unleashing our nation’s full potential” during the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

While focus will in part fall on what the plan lacks – such as measures to address the social care funding crisis – here is a brief look at the legislation announced by No 10:

– A Health and Care Bill seeks to lay the foundations for a more integrated, efficient and accountable health and care system while delivering the NHS’s Long Term Plan.

– Dominic Cummings may be out of Downing Street and embroiled in a feud with the Prime Minister but one of his pet projects remains. The Advanced Research and Invention Agency Bill will support the funding of high-risk research projects.

– The High Speed Rail (Crewe – Manchester) Bill would give the powers to build and operate the next stage of the HS2 project in the North West.

– Extending 5G mobile coverage and high-speed broadband, as well as protecting against cyber attacks, are the focus of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill.

– Central to the Government’s plans to recover from the pandemic is the Skills and Post-16 Education Bill seeking to offer a lifetime skills guarantee for access to education and training.

– The European Union’s state aid rules no longer apply in the wake of Brexit, so the Subsidy Control Bill would implement the UK’s own regime.

– The Procurement Bill aims to ensure public procurement is quicker, simper and more transparent, while enshrining in law the principle of value for money.

– Freeports would be established and relief for employers provided under the National Insurance Contributions Bill.

– One area of contention with backbench Conservative MPs, the Planning Bill seeks to overhaul the planning system as a means to build homes and infrastructure, such as schools and hospitals.

– The Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill aims to address inconsistency surrounding ground rents for future leaseholders.

– In the wake of the Grenfell Tower atrocity, the Building Safety Bill will implement recommendations to improve safety and establish a new regulator.

– Around £800 million is expected to be unlocked for social and environmental initiatives by the Dormant Assets Bill.

– The Charities Bill proposes to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy to boost the voluntary sector.

– New legally-binding targets to tackle the climate crisis would be enshrined in the Environment Bill.

– Animal sentience would be recognised in law with the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill.

– The Kept Animals Bill also seeks to tackle cruelty while improving standards in zoos, cracking down on puppy smuggling and ending the practice of keeping primates as pets.

– The import of hunting trophies from endangered animals would be banned under the Animals Abroad Bill.

– Controversial plans to require voters to have identification before casting ballots in a polling station would be introduced with the Electoral Integrity Bill.

– The Public Service Pensions and Judicial Offices Bill seeks to ensure equal treatment for all members within the main public service pension schemes.

– Freedom of speech on university campuses and academic freedom will be addressed in the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill.

– Subject to consultation, the Judicial Review Bill states its intention as preventing the judiciary from being drawn into political questions.

– The Fixed-term Parliaments Act will be repealed and the Prime Minister given back the power to call general elections under the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Bill.

– The New Decade, New Approach deal would be implemented with the Northern Ireland (Ministers, Elections and Petitions of Concerns) Bill.

– Having been shelved as demonstrations took place over concerns it would curtail the right to protest, the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill has returned to the agenda.

– In further legislation to address the EU exit, the Professional Qualifications Bill would give powers to UK regulators to enter agreements with their overseas counterparts to recognise qualifications.

– A Draft Victims Bill seeks to enshrine in law the rights set out in the new victims’ code.

– Controversial measures to overhaul the asylum system would be introduced under the New Plan for Immigration Legislation, in a bid to deter migrants making perilous journeys to the UK.

– Legislation to protect internet users and make Ofcom the online safety regulator would be introduced in the Draft Online Safety Bill.

– Service personnel, veterans and their families would get greater protection under the Armed Forces Bill.

– Threats to the security of fuel supply would be addressed with a Draft Downstream Oil Resilience Bill.

– The security services and law enforcement agencies would be given tools to tackle hostile activity from states under the Counter-State Threats Bill.

– High risk communication vendors such as Huawei would face controls on services and equipment under the Telecommunications (Security) Bill.
