The first all-Conservative Queen's Speech since 1996 is set to be announced today.
In a ceremony in Westminster, the Queen will lead a procession to parliament for its formal opening before setting out the coming Conservative agenda.
A referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union; a linking of the tax threshold to the minimum wage for those working 30 hours or less; and a doubling of the free childcare allowance for three and four-year-olds are expected to feature in the announcement.

David Cameron said the speech would set out a "clear vision for what our country can be", and that he would “not waste a single moment” in implementing the Tory manifesto promises.
It has been reported that the prime minister will, however, hold back on plans to replace the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights.
The Conservatives had been pressing ahead with the policy outlined in their manifesto despite calls from legal campaigners against the move, which would give British courts, rather than Strasbourg, the final say on human rights matters.
But in a bid to avoid confrontation with his backbenchers and the judiciary, Cameron has apparently decided the British Bill of Rights will be replaced in today's Queen's Speech by a consultation on the matter.
According to the Times, a government source said it was more important to get the bill right rather than rush it, and added it would be “odd if we did not consult widely”.
