MPs are continuing the debate on the King’s Speech this week, with the House of Commons sitting from 14:30 today. The main subject for Monday’s debate is backing business to create economic growth.
The parliamentary schedule for the week also includes debate on energy security on Tuesday, Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday and the conclusion of the King’s Speech debate on defence readiness. Justice questions, science questions and business and trade questions are also due to take place across the week.
The Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill is scheduled for second reading on Thursday. The bill is expected to be one of the key legislative measures watched closely during the new parliamentary session, following recent Government interventions in the steel sector.
