Matthew has welcomed the Queen's Speech which uses the opportunity of a strengthening economy to deliver security for working people, increase life chances for the most disadvantaged and strengthen our national security. Matthew said: "I particularly welcome the bold reforms that tackle some of the deepest social problems in our country, remove barriers to opportunity, give children in care the best possible start in life, reform our prisons, transform the education system, help people save and keep our country safe. This is a Queen’s Speech aimed at protecting everyone in our country and giving them the chance to get on." Some of the key proposals are: • Bill of Rights. This Bill will support and reinforce Britain’s long-standing commitment to human rights and restore common sense to the way human rights law is applied. It will include measures to reform and modernise the UK human rights framework, and protections against abuse of the system and misuse of human rights laws. • Counter-Extremism and Safeguarding Bill. This Bill gives law enforcement agencies new powers to protect vulnerable people – including children – from those who seek to brainwash them with extremism propaganda, so we can build a stronger society around our shared liberal values of tolerance and respect. • Policing and Crime Bill. This Bill is the next phase in our reform of the police, reforming out-of-date complaints and disciplinary procedures, so we increase public confidence in the people who keep us safe. It will include a new duty to collaborate on all three emergency services, to improve efficiency and effectiveness. • Prisons and Courts Reform Bill. This Bill represents the biggest reform of our prisons since Victorian times, ensuring they are not just a place of punishment but also rehabilitation, so everyone has the chance to get on the right track. • Children and Social Work Bill. This Bill aims to improve the standard of social work and opportunities for young people in care in England so they are all given the hope of a better life. It will include changes to the considerations that courts must take into account in adoption decisions, tipping the balance in favour of permanent adoption where that is the right thing for the child, and a new system of regulating social workers. • Education for All Bill. This Bill is the next phase of the Government's transformation of education, extending the principles of freedom and accountability across the country so that we encourage excellence everywhere and give every child the best start in life. It will include new laws to expand the academies programme in the poorest performing local authority areas and a new funding formula to deliver fair funding for every school and pupil in the country. • Lifetime Savings Bill. This Bill helps people to save and make plans for the future, so we build the financial resilience and security of people across the country – especially the young and those on low incomes. It will include the new Help to Save scheme and a new Lifetime ISA for young people. Matthew continued: "This is a Queen’s Speech aimed at giving working people security in their personal and professional lives; increasing the chances in life for the most disadvantaged in our society; and strengthening our national security to keep us all safer."
