The British Parliament resumes its work

Keir Starmer's government will continue with its "busy legislative program

The British Parliament resumes its work today after perhaps the shortest summer vacation in decades, BNR reported .

Keir Starmer's government will push ahead with its “busy legislative agenda”, a senior UK cabinet minister has promised, before MPs enter the House of Commons and Lords respectively after just a month's break.

Lucy Powell, leader of the House of Commons, said the Prime Minister and his cabinet were ready to “roll up their sleeves” to “build a better Britain”. “This new Labor government is full of energy, full of ideas and eager to deliver on our mandate for change. That is why we have announced a full legislative agenda focused on people's priorities," she added.

During the week, many draft laws will indeed be submitted for discussion, including the second reading and the one to create a new state energy company. In mid-September, however, parliament will again be dissolved for a long time as the season of annual party congresses begins.
