Rolling coverage of the day’s political developments as they happen, including the Queen’s speech and Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn speaking in the subsequent Commons debate
From the Sun’s Tom Newton Dunn
The most interesting part of the Queen’s Speech: major new espionage legislation is coming, will include extraterritorial elements for terror offences. Could look like a new Treason Act / the US’s Foreign Agents Registration Act. My story from February:https://t.co/WGdXrgLrfj pic.twitter.com/zZQVzkWUqE
The Queen ends with two messages at the end of every Queen’s speech.
Members of the House of Commons – estimates for the public services will be laid before you.
My lords and members of the House of Commons – other measures will be laid before you.
I pray that the blessing of Almighty God may rest upon your counsels.
