Today I am giving you the opportunity to send in your ideas of what legislation the government should propose for the new Parliament
We know there will be priority for Brexit legislation , and the government has decided to bind itself in law to increases in NHS spending.
I would like to see a Constitutional Reform Bill. This would repeal the Fixed Terms Parliament Act which did so much damage in the last Parliament. An Act designed to keep elections to one every five years has instead allowed three in four years. It could legislate to reduce the number of MPs by 50 as promised before. It should limit the Speakers powers by requiring a government moved Money Resolution and Queens consent to legislation.
I would like a simpler and lower taxes bill to incorporate the various tax measures I have proposed.
I want to see better protection for armed services personnel against legal challenge, once cleared by an enquiry.
I favour new legislation on the BBC to decriminalise the licence fee.
