What do you want to see in the Queen's Speech?
It will be the first time the Queen has missed the ceremony since 1963 and she has given special permission for the Prince of Wales and Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, to open Parliament on her behalf.
The speech will open with a promise to grow the economy, ease the financial burden on households and pursue the government's levelling up programme aimed at tackling regional disparities in the UK. There will also be seven bills which ministers argue deliver the benefits of Brexit and a Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill is expected to change planning rules in England after previous proposals led to a backbench rebellion.
The new police powers were originally announced last autumn, after campaign group Insulate Britain began blocking major roads and motorways.
