From Times Wire Reports
Terrorism, crime and climate change will dominate Prime Minister Tony Blair’s final legislative agenda, set out by Queen Elizabeth II in a speech at an opulent annual ceremony in Parliament.

The queen said Blair’s government would try to push through a package of about 30 new laws focused on security.
