PM unveils draft Queen's Speech

Prime Minister Gordon Brown will seek to regain the political initiative with a legislative programme for the coming year designed to show the Government is "on the side of the British people".

The draft Queen's Speech will include measures to extend "personalisation" of public services like health and education, as well as reforms to regulation of the banking industry and new support for the housing market.

In a package insiders said would "create greater economic prosperity and deliver a fairer Britain", Mr Brown will also offer to hand over power to local communities to have more say over their lives.
