Published Jul 14, 2024, 9:38 PM

The newly-established UK Government is set to unveil at least 35 new bills as part of the first King's speech of its tenure.

The raft of bills will likely include promises impacting housing, transport, jobs and clean energy - in line with Keir Starmer's mission for Britain.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says it's likely more will be revealed during Wednesday's announcement. 

LISTEN ABOVE

Labor is preparing the King's Speech in the UK. This is Keir Starmer's new Labor government with twenty five to thirty bills reportedly going to be introduced Kevin Grays in the UK for US, Kevin, what are they looking at? What are they going to start with?

Right? And it's looking like a list of pretty much what they promised at the start. We don't know yet. This is ahead of Wednesday's King's Speech. The king Speech is basically when the government of the day outlines its a legislative program what it hopes to achieve in that time. So it looks like we're going to get new promises on house building. Big shortage of housing over here, very difficult for first time buyers to get on the ladder, and one way this government is determined to do it is to build more houses. The question is we're a small country, so where are you going to put them? Improving transport that'll be pretty popular, particularly some of the links outside of London which are so good, and also increasing jobs and securing clean energy. They want to set up a sort of national GB Energy company and a real driving towards more solar energy and more on shore solar and more onshore wind as well. Many people again very concerned about what our countryside is going to look like, thirty five bills in total. We'll wait to see what comes out.

All right, and of course in an hour about an hour and fifteen, you're going to be quite busy watching the telly I mentioned.

Yes, so the Euro's Final between England and Spain. Of course I have to say you Spain are the bookie's favorites eleven to eight on England thirteen to ten. So a little bit in it, not too much. As we go into this, it's been believed in not fifty eight years since England last won a major championship. You have to go back to the World Cup of nineteen sixty six. There have been four hundred and fifty seven players who have represented England since then, and well eleven managers as well, so it's been a time. Of course. I have to say that the English play so far haven't been great in the tournament. They managed to get through, but it has been pretty negative and defensive at times. The Spanish play is completely opposite, very open, very free flowing, very quick. It'll be interesting to see these two sides come head to head in an Iron ten.

Good luck, Devin Gavin Gray, Are you can europe correspondent with us live from London, It's to scar on twelve.
