David Cameron said the 26-bill package was a "programme for working people" that would create full employment and "bring our country together".
The measures were unveiled by the Queen amid the usual pomp and ceremony.
The proposed legislation includes:
An EU referendum by the end of 2017
A ban on income tax, VAT and national insurance increases for five years
A freeze on working age benefits, tax credits and child benefit for two years from 2016/17
30 hours free childcare a week for three and four-year-olds by 2017
Cutting the total amount one household can claim in benefits from £26,000 to £23,000
More devolution for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and "English votes for English laws" at Westminster
500 more free schools and more failing and "coasting" schools turned into Academies
A ban on so-called legal highs
A "truly seven day" NHS by 2020
A full list and how they work:

Sounds good to me, anyone else effected by this or have any views on any of it?
