The Queen's Speech takes place this morning, but what is it and why is it important?
Buckingham Palace confirmed on Monday that the Queen has pulled out of this year's State Opening of ParliamentAbout two hours after the speech is delivered, MPs reassemble in the House of Commons to begin debating its contents.
After introductory speeches by two MPs, the prime minister will "sell" the speech to the Commons, setting out a vision for the country. The leader of the opposition then gets the chance to respond, before other MPs are allowed to contribute.The last prime minister to lose a vote on the speech was Stanley Baldwin in 1924At the end of the debate there is a vote. It's normally seen as symbolic, as it is extremely rare for a government to lose it.
In fact, the last time a government lost the vote was in January 1924, under Conservative Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. Mr Baldwin proceeded with a King's Speech - George V was the monarch at the time - despite having lost his majority in the previous month's general election. He was forced to resign, and Labour formed a short-lived government in his place.
