As it happened: Queen's Speech and MPs debate - BBC News
Boris Johnson presented government plans for new laws which Labour leader Keir Starmer said lacked urgency and ambition
Labour chair of the public accounts committee Meg Hillier asks if levelling up "actually means levelling down" for her constituency of Hackey South and Shoreditch in London.

She says there are promises of more homes, but over the past six years "there has been a lack of delivery".

There are bits of the Queen's Speech that she will support, she says, but she "will watch like a hawk" the spending of government.

The UK needs more homes, she says, but she asks if the ones committed by the government "will truly be affordable".

She says her constituents are sometimes living in cramped living arrangements, and she says the prime minister "needs to look at the reality of people's lives".

In her constituency, Hackney South and Shoreditch, the average house price is 17 times of the average wage, she states.

She says she is please the Environment Bill has been carried over from the last session of parliament, "but let's hope we see more detail, more meaningful steps towards action on this issue", she says.

She says her committee has spent some time looking at environment and climate change issues: "We have found the government wanting, promising, with big, broad brush headlines, the earth, but potentially in its inaction potentially actually damaging the earth. There is no planet B, we have to get it right, now", she says.

She says, in general, he Queen's Speech has bits in it that she wants to support, but "we've seen promises made and not delivered... cheap headlines over substance just let people down".
