from the house of lords to the house of commons.ou will get a sense of his arrival. lots of faces turned. it is quite a long corridor. which is why it takes a few moments for thatjourney to be made. here we are. members of the house of commons, the lords, who are authorised by virtue of her majesty's commission to declare the opening of parliament, desire the presence of this honourable house in the house of peers to hear the commission read. rather frustratingly, we have lost the sound for a moment. there is kenneth clarke. the father of the is. he responds positively to the invitation to head to the house of lords. there is the prime minister with jeremy corbyn, lords. there is the prime minister withjeremy corbyn, tom watson, deputy leader, damian green near the front, and various other members of parliament filing out of the house of commons towards the house of lords. there is no obligation on them to go. this should take about ten minutes, we are told. there was reference to the commission, the royal commission, that will be r

lords and members of the house of commons, other measures will be laid before you. e almighty god may rest upon your counsel. francine: that was elizabeth the second reading a speech from the house of lords before judges and high commissioners. she set out the agenda for the coming years. and she talked about new legislation. these eight about mills. she talked about immigration, giving u.k. power over immigration. agriculture to deal with far regulation -- so did you -- so it did give you a glimpse into the complexities. tom: all rising. the house of commons doesn't rise because they have been standing. is 68 years old. francine: let's get to and edwards air force base to her. as expected, there wasn't a lot of talk on domestic reform in theresaifesto because may would have been concerned that she wouldn't get the proposals through a hung parliament. and edwards: there was no of policies that could have been controversial. i thought a couple of things were fascinating. the first is what was said about trade policy. independent with an trade policy -- that sounds as

means that if you have a manifesto, your pledges don't have to go under the same scrutiny by the house of lordsren't in the manifesto which makes it easier to pass unpopular legislation. she was relying on this with her grammar schools legislation because it meant she could circumvent the house of lords. in 2010, they didn't honour the salisbury convention which means that anything related to brexit that you put in that manifesto will have to go through the lords. and the lords famously and controversially stood in the way of welfare changes. and that is because when they aren't put in the manifesto, the laws can say, nobody has voted for this, and we are going to have our say. if it was in the manifesto and lots a lot of people voted on it, they haven't got a leg to stand on, but theresa may haven't got a mandate, people haven't voted on it. the sunday telegraph, in office, but not in power. herfragile leadership suffers a further blow with these two aides resigning. because it appears, caroline, that they were senior tories were saying that these two have to go. this all started during pretty

so the deal means the house of lords, you think, well, the government thinks the house of lords cannottation of the salisbury convention. which says they cannot oppose things in the manifesto... yes, but governement lawyers are saying basically if the deal is agreed and the queen's speech, that would apply. but they are government lawyers. ok, thank you, nick. austerity has defined the tory or tory—led governments of recent years. getting the deficit down has been the goal, and restraint on public spending has been the method. it's notjob done exactly — the borrowing targets have been moved more than once. but there's enormous pressure to ease austerity and get money into the public services. so how much room is there for that? chris cook, our policy editor, has been casting his eye over the books. chanting london has suffered a terrible month but a protest today in the city marketed as a deal of rage at the government, slightly underwhelmed. notjust concerned about austerity, though, but they now attract support from a surprisingly wide range. ifeel we have had enough austerity, and i

of exit the u.k. will opt to remain. i'm very delighted to welcome lord karan bilimoria, the founder of cobra beer, and an independent lawmaker in the houselords. for joining usch to you have always said that once people realize what exactly brexit entails, there is a way of going back. i speak to a lot of investors saying the markets believe that but it is wishful thinking. lord bilimoria: it is not at all wishful thinking, because what has transpired is people are now beginning to realize the 22nd of february is the key date because that is the date when david cameron announced the referendum. if you look at where the united kingdom was at that time, we the the envy of europe, fastest-growing economy in the western world. we were flying. then four months later, a year ago today, the world changed for us. today from being the envy of europe, we are the laughing stock of europe. look where we are today. we have got inflation six times where it was, from half a percent to over a percent in wage growth. we are now quite apart from nowpe being in mess and europe is going faster than the u.k. people are beginning to realize, hang on, what hav

house of commons to summons mps to hear the speech. and with that mps left the commons, processing out of their chamber, through central lobby and on into the house of lordser and the leader of the opposition exchange pleasa ntries, but there was little chit chat between theresa may and jeremy corbyn. and when mps had arrived at the bar at the back of the lords, the queen read out the contents of the speech — the 64th time she'd performed the role. beginning with the government's plans for brexit. my government's priority is to secure the best possible deal as the country leaves the european union. establishing new national policies on immigration, international sanctions, nuclear safeguards, agriculture, and fisheries. there was no word on grammar schools, but instead... my government will continue to work to ensure that every child has the opportunity to attend a good school, and that all schools are fairly funded. and as to the conservatives controversial manifesto policy on social care... my ministers will work to improve the social care and will bring forward proposals for consultation. there'd be a public inquiry into the grenfell tower block fire.

it is about the house of lords possibly taking action to rebuff a lot of what was in the speech?water down a lot of what was proposed. i think nine of what was proposed. i think nine of the bills were related to brexit. interestingly, i guess it boils down to the fact that the conservative party does not have a majority. that is why they are seeing that they can't take this line with brexit, and why they are threatening to water this down. the issue about her not having a majority, that is coming out in all the newspaper coverage. this article talks about the democratic unionist party and what they are asking to get a deal, a£2 what they are asking to get a deal, a £2 billion payment is apparently being demanded for northern ireland, and are guaranteed to end austerity. this is a real issue for theresa may. she has to get some kind of deal to get anything through parliament? and yet, it is looking extremely difficult to break about. there was some news earlier saying that they had denied it, but clearly, it has been run across all the newspapers. i think the concern amongst many

she was the mp for this area, and the work she has done ever since then as our leader in the house of lordsf you for coming here today and being here today. and thank you keyer for what you have just said, today. and thank you keyer for what you havejust said, and to our excellent brexit team here today. look at the intelligence and competence that is they are amongst those three! it does seem a long time ago now that this election was called by the prime minister three yea rs early, called by the prime minister three years early, supposedly in order to make britain‘s exit from the european union easier for make britain‘s exit from the european union easierfor her to manage. a lot has happened since then. the terrible atrocity in manchester. that has driven home the need to be more effective in the action we take to protect our people both at home and abroad. so we should think carefully on the horrors of manchester and the saddlers those families will live with for the rest of their lives. we will not allow anyone to destroy our right to enjoy themselves, for women to go out and enjoy them

i had a lot of correspondence, edge percent the house of lords speech to people writing to me seeing s a black—and—white so i think there is every intention of honouring the very understandable human dilemma associated with the brits there and the europeans here. some business prices have been concerned about whether this might become a disincentive for people considering a career options in london and the south—east of england, particularly because those are the big draws for a lot of european nationals compared to going to other countries and one thing in particular they are worried about is what happens to dependence. elderly relatives or children, that maybe something that would put people off taking a job something that would put people off taking ajob in something that would put people off taking a job in the uk, what do you think? there isn't any doubt that brexit has now created a cloud under which people are making judgments. businessmen are looking at their investment, not just a businessmen are looking at their investment, notjust a british businessmen overseas investment.

now, i am a crossbencher in the house of lords and i am very careful, or i try to be careful, not to concerned, we have a prime minister that's within our constitution. you know, her deal with the dup, people may not like, but it gives her the majority she needs. i think, echoing one or two other people, we now must get behind the prime minister. if there is a lot of debate and discord over brexit, that alone, let alone all the other things we have just been talking about, it means that this country is in a pretty sorry state at a critical point in its history. probably more so than the other nations we've been talking about at this conference. you are not a fan of the eu, you called them arrogant, i think and implied they had overreached themselves, this morning. what should the british be thinking in terms of security in a relationship with europe? because the europeans are beginning to think those americans are perhaps not quite the allies we thought, they will go it alone a little more. nato becomes weakened and then where are we left? clearly, our security is completely dependen

the members of parliament i talk to, we have two thirds of the house of commons and three quarters of the house of lordsly want to rerun the referendum they don't want to play that game. but they feel it's important to have a sensible, pragmatic, negotiation outcome with the best possible relation between the best possible relation between the eu and the uk in the future. i meant that so many of our european partners who never wanted us to leave the first place, rub their eyesin leave the first place, rub their eyes in disbelief after the referendum, have come to terms with that, but the way in which we began strike a very tough, almost battle like rand belligerent tone about what we will demand and get without taking into account some realities, i know that bothered some of our supporters across the eu. we now have a different tone, a pretty strong majority among members of both houses, and a situation in which the role of parliament, because the government doesn't have a proper majority, could well be that much more important in scrutinising or sometimes voting up on the details of the brexit negotiat
