Voters in the U.K. could be forced to show photographic identification at future elections, after a controversial new law proposed by Boris Johnsons government was unveiled in the queens speech to Parliament.
Queen Elizabeth II delivered her annual speech on Tuesday, setting out the Conservative governments legislative agenda for the year ahead and formally opening the U.K. Parliament. The queen has performed the ceremonial duty every year since her reign began in 1952, barring two years 1959 and 1963 when she was pregnant.
