Queen's Speech: Old Traditions, New Realities

Ewan Palmer (IBT)
Britain will hold an in/out referendum on its EU membership before the end of 2017, the Queen formally announced during the state opening of Parliament.
The pledge formed a key part of the Queen's speech, written by the new Conservative government following its majority win at the 7 May election, which also included confirmation of a "five-year plan" for the NHS that will see it work on a seven-day basis.
