The Queen’s Speech, which marks the state opening of parliament, sets out the Government’s policies and proposed legislative programme for the 2008/09 session. The full programme with details of each Bill can be found on the external link on the right-hand panel of this page.
Given the current state of the economy and in particular the property and construction sector, RICS strongly supports priority being given to Bills that will help both business and families in their time of need.
In particular, RICS welcomes Bills that will help improve the payment process for the Construction sector as well as the Government further extending co-contribution savings schemes along the lines RICS has been asking for.
