 Plans designed to boost economic growth are at the heart of the first legislative programme to be set out by a Labour government in more than 14 years. Among the measures which King Charles will read out will be new legislation designed to speed up house building and the delivery of big infrastructure projects by reforming the planning process. There will also be a bill to bring the railways into public ownership as franchises come to an end. An English devolution bill will be included to transfer some powers out of Westminster.
