What to expect from the King's Speech 2023

King Charles is due to deliver his first King’s Speech on Nov 7 setting out the UK government’s legislative agenda for the next parliamentary session. With a general election due by January 2025 and the Conservatives trailing in the polls, this represents a key opportunity for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to set out his party’s priorities and ambitions. Media reports indicate the speech could include new bills to toughen sentences for serious crimes, shape North Sea oil and gas exploration, and set up an independent football watchdog.
