I have a great deal of sympathy for the hon. Gentleman's view that we sometimes rush things in having the Queen's Speech about a week or eight days from the general election. What should happen is that Parliament convenes for swearing in and appointing the Speaker, but then there should be an interregnum between that time and the Queen's Speech, allowing Ministers to master their briefs and new Members to have a proper induction.
