Boris Johnson has vowed to “look forward” past the pandemic as he confirmed plans to bring back a controversial Bill designed to boost police powers in the Queen’s Speech. The Prime Minister, fresh from a buoyant set of local election results in England for the Conservative Party, said next week’s State Opening of Parliament would see fresh attention placed on his Government’s so-called “levelling up” agenda. As part of his legislative proposals, he is set to bring back the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, a draft law that was shelved during the last parliamentary session after it sparked violent protests in some places across the UK.
