There was no mention in the Queen's speech of the Employment Bill (which will, reportedly, be introduced "when the time is right").

There was no mention in the Queen's speech of the Employment Bill (which will, reportedly, be introduced "when the time is right").

However, a new Skills and Post-Education Bill 2021-22, which was mentioned in the speech, has now been introduced in Parliament (read below for further detail).

The government has also said that it will bring forward measures to address racial and ethnic disparities, though it is not clear what these measures will be. 
Finally, new legislation to strengthen the UK's borders is promised to support the government's 'New Plan for Immigration'. New legislation will deter illegal entry to the UK and make it easier to remove individuals from the UK. A "one-stop" process will also provide that asylum and human rights claims are made and considered at the very start of the immigration process, ending the possibility of perceived "limitless appeals".
