05/08/2021 | Press release | Distributed by Public on 05/08/2021 15:48 A new Queen's Speech to build back better from the pandemic New laws to ensure the UK builds back better and stronger from the pandemic will be unveiled in next week's Queen's Speech. Following the unprecedented, global impact of coronavirus the Government's new legislative programme will be focussed on supporting the nation's recovery, backing the NHS, levelling up and spreading opportunity. It will support jobs, businesses and our economy, while delivering the Government's commitments to create safer streets and neighbourhoods and achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, for a cleaner, greener UK. The new measures will build on the progress so far, in spite of the pandemic, following a period which also saw the UK become an independent nation outside the EU.
