Brexit dominated many of the 27 Bills and draft bills in the Queen's Speech, while new safety and anti-terror measures were also announced in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy and a spate of terror attacks.

Here's a rundown of the key measures announced by Her Majesty on behalf of Theresa May's Government in the House of Lords:

BREXIT

There are eight bills devoted to the complex process of withdrawal from the EU, including a Repeal Bill to overturn the 1972 Act that made the UK a member of the European Economic Community and separate Bills on customs, trade, immigration, fisheries, agriculture, nuclear safeguards and the international sanctions regime.

The Brexit bills:

MAKING A SAFER AND MORE UNITED COUNTRY

The Speech confirmed plans for a public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower tragedy and Mrs May said she would take forward measures to introduce an independent advocate for all public disasters to support those affected and help them at inquests.

A new strategy for resilience in major disasters could include a Civil Disaster Reaction Taskforce to help at times of emergency.

Warning of an "unprecedented" threat from terrorism in the wake of attacks at Westminster, Manchester and London Bridge, Mrs May also announced a review of counter-terrorism strategy to make sure police and security services have "all the powers they need to protect our country".

The new Commission for Countering Extremism will be given the task of supporting the Government in "stamping out extremist ideology in all its forms".

The Government is to try to attract more women into the armed forces by offering flexible working patterns to fit in with family life.

Proposals included in the Armed Forces (Flexible Working) Bill include part-time service and special arrangements to ensure individuals are not deployed too far away from home.

ECONOMY

Launching her agenda just 13 days after the disastrous election robbed her of the majority needed to be sure of delivering it, Mrs May said her legislative programme is "about delivering a Brexit deal that works for all parts of the UK while building a stronger, fairer country by strengthening our economy, tackling injustice and promoting opportunity and aspiration".

Economic measures focus on technological advancements in travel, including electric cars, space flights and HS2.

Motorway services and major petrol station chains will be required to install charge points for electric vehicles to help ensure the UK is a "world leader in new industries", the Government said.

MAKING A FAIRER COUNTRY

Holidaymakers and renters are among those set to benefit from new protective measures, including updates to the Atol scheme for those travelling abroad and a ban on landlords charging "letting fees" which currently average £223 in the private sector.

There are bills to improve the treatment of victims of domestic violence, including new protection and sentencing powers and an end to the direct cross-examinations of victims by their alleged perpetrators in family courts.
