so black rod had to knock. black rod!r, the queen commands this honourable house to attend her majesty immediately in the house of peers. and there was another further tradition to observe. the microphones didn't quite pick up dennis skinner, the labour mp for bolsover, whose signature quip at this point in the proceedings was a terse "i'm not going". and with that, mps filed towards the lords. boris johnson and jeremy corbyn leading the way, though with little chit—chat between the two. finally, before the speech got under way, a lost tradition was revived, as robert buckland, the lord chancellor and justice secretary, decided to deliver the speech to her majesty in full wig and gown. although having handed her the parchment, he decided not to walk backwards down the steps and instead turned his back on the monarch. and with that, the queen delivered the speech, written for her by government ministers. the first item on the menu, brexit. my government's priority has always been to secure the united kingdom's departure fr

once inside, black rod summons lawmakers to the rods. the mps, black rod ushers and officials make their way to the lord's chamber where they stand in the back. members of the lords and guests including judges, ambassadors and high commissioners will sit in the lord's chamber. >> my lords and members of the house of commons -- >> reporter: then the queen delivers her speech to members of both houses. written by the government and approved by the cabinet, the speech lays out policies and proposed legislation for the new parliamentary session. the queen then departs the lord's chamber, prompting the new session to start. both houses then begin debate the content of the speech. members will continue debating over several days looking at different subject areas each day. anna stewart, cnn, london. >> a lot to debate there in the uk. >>> and also this from the chinese president xi jinping. a warning, he says, for anyone trying to, quote, split china in any part of the country. he says those efforts will end in, quote, crushed bodies and shatt

an official called black rod summons mps to hear the queen. in his or her face to symbolise the independence of the chamber from the monarchy. this is the first queen's speech since 2017, and today, 26 bills were outlined. the speech lasted just under ten minutes. mps then returned to the house of commons to debate it. here's some of that debate, starting with prime minister borisjohnson. as we prepare to get brexit done by 310ctober, we are setting out now our vision of an open, global, free trading united kingdom, a higherwage, low tax economy with the highest environmental standards, new protections for animal welfare, the best place to invest, the best place to start a business, the best place to start a family and send your kids to school. and without being chauvinistic or disrespectful to anywhere else in the world, in important respects, this country is the greatest place to live and to be. the greatest place on earth. this was the leader of the opposition‘s response. there's never been such a fuss as a government with a majority of —45

members, pointing, jabbing theirfingers — some awful hand gestures, i assume, at the direction of black roduch to drink this time, and it won't be at 1am in the morning. but we were offered no protection on that day from the chair. so, can you assure us, if we see the same sort of bullying and hectering behaviour this evening, we will be protected by the chair this time? the previous prorogation was unlawful. this prorogation is not unlawful. well, i thank the honourable lady for that point of order, the right honourable lady for that point of order. could ijust say that i hope that in this house, we will all respect each other. and that we can conduct proceedings in a polite and respectful manner. and it turned out that this prorogation ceremony was conducted in the usual way. all the traditions were duly observed, with mps being summoned to the lords to hear the declaration of prorogation. altogether, a much more low—key affair than last time. let the commons know that the lord commissioners desire their immediate attendance in this house to hear the commission read. mr speaker, the lords

lt gen david leakey was black rod at the house of lords between 2011 and 2018.racterisejohn bercow‘s time a speaker? i am inclined to agree with some of the comments pete to him and the tributes to him which we just recorded. —— pete to him. he has championed reform in the house of commons and in parliament generally. not all of those have been his own ideas but the ones that have been good he has pursued, championed them and he must get some credit for that. i applaud him for that as well. he has brought colour to the chamber, not everybody thinks he has done it in a way wholly consistent with the role of the speaker, which is to be the moderator of debate and discussion of questions, holding the government to account in the house of commons. some people think that he has been sometimes made himself the centre of attention in the chamber and some people would accuse him of having been narcissistic. that is not what is required of a speaker. some people would say that he has been impartial, others would disagree. you need to point about remainers and leavers. it
