Reaction to Queen's Speech
PRIME MINISTER IS "TRYING TO LEGISLATE HIS WAY INTO HISTORY"
Lib Dem Leader Sir Menzies Campbell MP accused the Government of 'statutory addiction' and commented that this Queen's Speech was 'remarkably similar to those which have gone before' -
"After nearly ten years in office the government and the Prime Minister are still chasing the same elusive goals and the same elusive headlines.
This is a rush from judgement towards legislation. The government suffers from a statutory addiction.
This is a Prime Minister trying to legislate his way into history.
Before the Prime Minister was elected, he told us that his priority was education, education, education. Since he was elected his priority has proved to be legislation, legislation, legislation."
