Wednesday will be the first time in 14 years that Labour has set the agenda for government. So, for Sir Keir Starmer's new administration, this moment is rich in symbolism and in substance. It is the chance for his government to exercise its power and show momentum. Politics live: Wales' first minister resigns The King's Speech will be the 'foundation stone' for Sir Keir's much-repeated mission to 'rebuild Britain'.
On housing, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner's ban on no-fault evictions will also be tabled in a push to reform the private rented sector in England. Ms Reeves has already announced plans to restore mandatory local housing targets in order to get more housebuilding, and Ms Rayner will begin the formal process of consulting on the National Planning Policy Framework before the end of July - with a view to start implementing the plans as early as autumn as Labour looks to get moving.
