Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a crown and full ceremonial dress, was scheduled Wednesday to deliver a speech that outlines the program of government by British Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservatives. It will be published May 28. The Queen’s speech will include a planned law for a referendum by end-2017 on the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, more powers for Scotland, and controversial measures to pull out of European human rights legislation. Scotland voted against independence from the UK in a referendum last year. Some of Cameron’s goals include controlling migration by making it harder for EU migrants to claim state benefits in Britain and opting out of the commitment to “ever closer union.”
