Draft Queen's speech - Have your say

The prime minister has published the government's draft legislative programme for the 2008/09 parliamentary session.

It included plans for an education and skills bill giving parents new rights to information about their children's progress and the running of schools, as well as: 

A health reform bill setting out a constitution for the NHS; apolice reform bill including locally elected representatives on police boards; awelfare reform bill placing new responsibilities on the unemployed; and legislation granting equal employment rights to temporary and agency workers.

In total there were plans for 18 full bills, linked under four themes of: economic stability; "making the most of your potential; personalisation and improvement of public services; and "handing back power to the people".

Ministers are also keen for the announcement to be the first stage of a consultation, with MPs, lobby groups, industry stakeholders and the public, leading up to the autumn Queen's speech.

In conjunction with the Office of the Leader of the House of Commons, ePolitix.com is consulting on the draft legislative agenda.

What do you think of the ideas unveiled by Gordon Brown?

And, perhaps, more importantly, what else should be in the autumn Queen's speech? Is there anything the government missed?
