Britain's new all-Conservative government unveiled its plans for power on Wednesday, including laws to hold a referendum on European Union membership, give Scotland more autonomy and toughen immigration policies.
The list of proposed legislation was read by Queen Elizabeth II at the State Opening of Parliament, an annual blend of politics and pomp.
It follows a May 7 election that unexpectedly gave Prime Minister David Cameron's center-right Conservatives a parliamentary majority - and with it the power to implement a political agenda without coalition compromises.
