British Citizenship Practice Test

Question: 1 / 400

What is 'The Queen's Speech'?

A speech given at Royal events throughout the year

A speech delivered during the State Opening of Parliament

'The Queen's Speech' is specifically delivered during the State Opening of Parliament, marking the start of a new parliamentary session. In this speech, the reigning monarch outlines the government's agenda and legislative priorities for the upcoming year, highlighting key policies and proposed laws. It is a significant constitutional event that indicates the government's direction and priorities, emphasizing the role of the monarchy in the UK's parliamentary democracy.

This focus on the legislative agenda distinguishes it from other possible speeches given at different royal events, which may not carry the same political significance. Additionally, the speech is not centered on community issues in a direct sense nor is it related to the end of a monarch's reign, as it is delivered during the active rule of the monarch.
