Parliament opened
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON, Nov. 1. Anti-skyjacking measures, a vote on the Ulster border issue and an “overriding concern” for the economy, were among key points of Government policy outlined by the Queen at the State opening of Parliament yesterday.
The Queen, who rode in state to Westminster, specifically referred to 19 bills in the speech which opened the nineteenth Parliament of her reign. Written for her by the Government, the speech outlined the legislative programme for the Parliamentary session. These were the key points: Legislation to combat air piracy and a commitment to inter-government cooperation against international terrorism. Legislation to provide for a poll on the Ulster border issue.
Continued efforts for an "effective means” of enabling faster growth of national output and real incomes while reducing the rate of inflation. Law reforms and improvements in the administration of justice to help fight the growing crime rate.
