The Prime Minister added that the Government remains ambitious in its priorities ahead of a general election next year.<\/p>\n

Mr Sunak opened a meeting of his Cabinet by saying the speech would focus on core measures including steps to \u201cstrengthen society and to keep people safe\u201d.<\/p>\n

The King is expected to open the new session of Parliament next Tuesday, the first time he will do so as monarch.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister, who has been in office for just over a year, said the last session of Parliament had been historic, pointing to key new legislation including the Illegal Migration Act, to make progress on \u201cstopping the boats\u201d; the Retained EU Law Act for \u201cseizing the opportunities of Brexit\u201d; the Online Safety Act; and the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Recon\u00adciliation) Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are not stopping there \u2013 we will keep demonstrating to the country that we are ambitious for what we want to achieve,\u201d he told his senior ministers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the new session, we will see a range of Bills that will deliver on what we want to do, and that\u2019s going to be to grow the economy, to strengthen society and to keep people safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Sunak said the Government\u2019s plan would \u201cdemonstrate clearly that we are taking the right long-term decisions to build a better future for everyone\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added that the state opening of Parliament would be \u201ca big occasion, not least because it\u2019s the first King\u2019s speech in 70-odd years\u201d.<\/p>\n

Although Charles delivered the speech at the last state opening in May last year, he was doing so in place of his mother, the late Queen.<\/p>\n

The King\u2019s speech will set out the legislative programme for the next session of Parliament, but will also give an indication of Mr Sunak\u2019s priorities before the general election.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister is expected to go to the country next year, although an election does not have to be held until January the year after.<\/p>\n
