:00:00. > :00:00.will show that there will not be great rebellions. One possible idea

:00:00. > :00:07.for the government is not to legislate very much. Legislation

:00:08. > :00:11.equals votes. Can they get away with that? Absolutely, and that is what

:00:12. > :00:19.they will try and do. The Queen 's speech will probably be very bare,

:00:20. > :00:24.there will have to be Brexit and some money and some narrative around

:00:25. > :00:28.the money but things like grammar schools and health, health was a

:00:29. > :00:31.controversial issue in the last Parliament, so you only ever saw

:00:32. > :00:35.Private members bills, you never saw an actual Health Bill going through

:00:36. > :00:36.Parliament. Anything like that, that could be controversial, they will

:00:37. > :00:47.avoid doing. And a new, these Government don't

:00:48. > :00:56.hold, since a pneumatic has only promoted new bills. -- two bills. A

:00:57. > :01:01.Government can proceed without too much legislation. And I have heard

:01:02. > :01:06.that people are hoping to see a lot of things in the manifesto dropped.

:01:07. > :01:09.In particular, fox hunting. I think you're going to see a slimmed down

:01:10. > :01:12.Queen's speech. That doesn't necessarily mean that the Government

:01:13. > :01:15.would be able to carry on, but it might mean there isn't much for

:01:16. > :01:22.Parliament to do. I wonder whether Parliament will sit that often.

:01:23. > :01:26.Maybe we will see... This Brexit stuff, the famous Great Repeal Bill,

:01:27. > :01:30.we could talk for hours and days a month on. Yes, this is a discussion

:01:31. > :01:34.we have been having earlier about the fact that there are to options,

:01:35. > :01:39.there is either listing every single item that has to be put into UK

:01:40. > :01:44.legislation, or just saying that from such and such a day, everything

:01:45. > :01:49.that was European law is now in the UK law, but of course, when you have

:01:50. > :01:52.things like the European medicines agency, if you're going to have

:01:53. > :01:57.something that mirrors its functions, you also have to have the

:01:58. > :01:59.agency itself. So these kinds of minute details are going to be

:02:00. > :02:05.enormously conjugated to get through. So I think there will be a

:02:06. > :02:08.lot for the parliament to do. I think you might also a minority

:02:09. > :02:11.Government situation, that the Government comes under pressure to

:02:12. > :02:16.allow more Parliamentary scrutiny of that process than they would have

:02:17. > :02:20.had to if they have had a big majority. Gus that we are ending our

:02:21. > :02:27.live coverage of the meeting of the new parliament, John Bercow safely

:02:28. > :02:30.re-elected unopposed, and tomorrow he will receive the Queen's

:02:31. > :02:36.approbation, in other words, her approval. Over in the Lords, peers

:02:37. > :02:39.are swearing in. This is something MPs will do tomorrow, because they

:02:40. > :02:44.haven't had to go through all this business of electing the Speaker. I,

:02:45. > :02:53.Baroness Thatcher,... I swear by Almighty God

:02:54. > :02:55.that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance

:02:56. > :02:57.to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors,

:02:58. > :03:11.according to law. It only remains the tooth thanked my

:03:12. > :03:24.to guests, Natasha Engels, former Deputy Speaker -- Natascha Engel. We
