Queen's Speech at a glance: What's in and what's out?

But as ever, it's what is left out of the speech that is the most telling, with no mention of grammar schools, controversial plans to increase the number of people paying for social care or a state visit by President Trump.

What's in?

- Brexit: Legislation to prepare Britain for its departure from the EU is set to dominate the Parliamentary agenda for at least the next two years, so unsurprisingly it has also dominated today's speech. The Prime Minister has pledged to deliver a Brexit that "commands maximum public support", which will be facilitated by the Great Repeal Bill to end the authority of European law and converting EU legislation into British law.

There will also be a Trade Bill to create a framework for the development of future international trade deals, an Immigration Bill to replace EU rules governing migration, and an EU Approvals Bill.

- Agriculture and Fisheries: Taking back control of UK fisheries and farming regulations was one of the central promises of the Leave campaign. In order to "ensure the UK makes a success of Brexit" the Government will bring forward a Fisheries Bill to give ministers responsibility for access to and management of British fishing waters, including setting quotas for fishing fleets. An Agriculture Bill will set out the Government's plans to establish a "thriving" and self-sufficient farming sector, while putting in place protections for the natural environment.

- Counter terrorism: In the wake of the attacks in Manchester and London, Theresa May launched an offensive to crack down on extremism and bolster the UK's counter-terrorism measures. While today's speech does not include any specific - and potentially controversial - legislation, it does restate the Government's commitment to establishing a Commission for Countering Extremism and conducting a counter-terrorism review to help it identify policies and powers that are required to "keep the population safe".

- Public Finances: There has been speculation that today could see the Government watering down its austerity agenda in response to the recent election result and as a means of currying favour with the anti-austerity DUP. However, while Theresa May has promised to "reflect on the message" sent by voters, she also highlights the Treasury's commitment to "balancing the books" and signals that there will be no significant change to policy until the Autumn Budget.

- Armed Forces: The Government will publish a new Armed Forces (Flexible Working) Bill to introduce part-time roles for regular service personnel and to provide those returning from special leave (including maternity leave) with more flexibility to "support an easier transition back into duty". This reflects the Prime Ministers commitment to deliver on the Armed Forces Covenant and "continue to invest in our gallant Armed Forces".

- HS2: It took three years for ministers to pass the first hybrid high speed rail bill that gave them the go ahead to start work on phase one of the HS2 route between London and Birmingham. Mrs May will now bring forward a second High Speed Rail Bill to legislate for phase two (part a) of the route from the Midlands to the North West, ending at Crewe. It is understood that a third bill will required for the line connecting the North West, including stops at Sheffield and Leeds.

- Critical Infrastructure: When Mrs May took over at Downing Street last summer, she was said to have serious concerns about the scale of Chinese involvement in the proposed new reactor at Hinkley C. In a nod to this, the Government has pledged to bring forward proposals to ensure foreign ownership of companies controlling "important infrastructure" does not undermine British security or "essential services".

- Domestic Abuse: Theresa May has repeatedly committed to improving the support and protections available to victims of domestic abuse. She will aim to deliver on these by bringing forward a Domestic Violence and Abuse Bill which will establish a Domestic Violence and Abuse Commissioner to "stand up for victims and survivors" and monitor the response of statutory agencies and local authorities. The bill will also introduce measures to ensure that if abusive behaviour involves a child, then a court can hand down a sentence that "reflects the devastating life-long impact" that abuse can have.

- Letting fees: A Tenant’s Fees Bill will ban landlords from charging tenants letting fees while promoting "fairness and transparency" in the private rental market. It comes off the back of several recent surveys which found that the average letting fees charged per tenancy is £223, with one in seven tenants paying more than £500.

- Motor insurance: Among the policies trailed overnight are plans to introduce a Civil Liability Bill to tackle "the continuing high number and cost" of whiplash claims. The Government claims this will not only "address the rampant compensation culture" but will also mean motorists see average saving of around £35 per year passed on through reduced insurance premiums.

- Online security: Riding on the coat-tails of the unprecedented cyber attack on the NHS back in May, the Prime Minister promised to introduce a raft of measures designed to boost digital rights and protections "to keep social media users safe from harm". These will in part be delivered by the new Data Protection Bill, which gives social media users the right to require companies to delete information held about them up to the age of 18 and introduces new requirements for firms to guarantee the safe storage of personal data. There is no mention in the detail of the Bill of new measures to prevent the publication of harmful content online, however, this could form part of a the Government's new Digital Charter.

- Space: The Government has previously expressed its determination to ensure Britain is at the forefront of the space travel revolution, with a number of sites already identified as potential contenders for the country's first commercial space port. A new Space Industry Bill will introduce new powers to license commercial spaceflight, alongside a new regulatory framework.

- Defence and Aid spending: The speech includes an explicit commitment to spending 2% of GDP on defence and 0.7% of national income on international aid and development.

What's out?

- Grammar schools: Despite Mrs May's repeated promises to repeal the ban on new selective schools, the policy gets no mention in today's speech - the Prime Minister merely pledges to "ensure that every child has the opportunity to attend a good school". She also reaffirms her commitment to ensuring all schools receive fair funding, with the help of a new funding allocation formula. But the government has emphasised the recent consultation on the formula, in an apparent acknowledgement of the fierce cross-party backlash to the proposals outlined at the end of last year

- Social Care: One thing all parties agreed on after the election was the Conservatives' disastrous proposals for a shake-up of social care. This included a requirement for individuals receiving at-home care to be subject to the same liability for costs as those individuals receiving care in a residential setting, and rejecting calls to introduce a cap on the total amount people would have to pay for their own care. Instead, the Government will bring forward a consultation to look at how the social care system can be put "on a more secure financial footing".

- Winter fuel: Another controversial issue during the election campaign was Conservative plans to introduce means-testing for winter fuel allowance. This met with opposition not only from Labour, but also from the DUP and the Scottish Conservatives.

- Fox Hunting: Theresa May surprised many people when she announced she would hold a free vote on a repeal of the fox hunting ban. While this would appeal to a core Conservative support base, it is unlikely that there is sufficient support in the Commons given the level of opposition from the SNP, Labour, Libs Dems and anti-hunting Tory MPs.

- Trump: Although the Queen claimed that she and Prince Philip "look forward" to a vist from the King and Queen of Spain this summer, there was no reference to the long-awaited state visit by President Trump. The US leader has reportedly said he will not visit the UK until the public support him, to minimise the risk of potentially embarrassing protests. If this is the case, it could be some years yet before Trump gets a mention in the Queen's Speech.

- Fracking: The Tory manifesto included a promise to legislate to change planning law for shale extraction applications, including making some applications the responsibility of the National Planning Regime. It also pledged to set up a new Shale Environmental Regulator and change the proposed Shale Wealth Fund so a greater percentage of the tax revenues from shale gas directly benefit the communities that host the extraction sites. However there is no mention of the controversial industry anywhere in the speech or briefing.

- Energy: The Prime Minister was mocked during the election for echoing Labour's 2015 energy bill freeze by announcing plans to introduce a cap on standard variable tariffs. However, while the speech commits the government to bringing forward measures to tackle "unfair practices in the energy market to help reduce energy bills" there seems to be no plan to bring forward legislation over the next two years.
