Many papers react to the Queen's Speech as some report on a search for possible victim of Fred West.
The Queen's Speech, in which the government set out its programme for the coming parliament, leads many of the papers. The Guardian reports that plans to introduce voter ID could freeze out more than two million voters. It says the plans for mandatory photo identification risks "disproportionately hitting older, disabled and homeless voters" who are less likely to have such documents.
The Financial Times chooses to focus on lobbying by former Prime Minister David Cameron on behalf of Greensill Capital, after the company's founder Lex Greensill went before the Treasury Select Committee on Tuesday. The paper says Mr Cameron, who is due to go before the same committee on Thursday, "deluged Whitehall" in a lobbying bid according to documents produced by the committee.
