The Queen's Speech, which is to be delivered by Queen Elizabeth, will include a parliamentary bill aimed at making it easier to deport foreign criminals and those who enter the UK illegally.
It is also expected that legislation is to be introduced to place a cap on social care costs in England and introduce a single state pension of 144 pounds a week.
The Queen's Speech, which is part of the State Opening of Parliament, allows the government to set out its proposed bills for the next parliamentary session.
