That’s it from Charles, over to the MPs
Charles’ first King’s Speech wraps up, having outlined a total of 21 Bills he hopes to pass in the next parliamentary year.
MPs are now filing back into the Commons to begin days of debate on the contents of the speech.
Package to ‘change the country’
Charles concludes: “My Government will, in all respects, seek to make long-term decisions in the interests of future generations.
“My ministers will address inflation and the drivers of low growth over demands for greater spending or borrowing.
“My ministers will put the security of communities and the nation ahead of the rights of those who endanger it.
“By taking these long-term decisions, my Government will change this country and build a better future.”
South Korean President visiting
Britain will roll out the red carpet for the South Korean President and his wife later this month, Charles confirms.
