King Charles III declared Tuesday in his maiden speech to the Parliament his government will crack down on crime and illegal migration.
Charles set out his government’s agenda for the next parliamentary year at the State Opening of Parliament (SOP) in Westminster.
“My government will act to keep communities safe from crime, antisocial behavior, terrorism and illegal migration. A bill will be brought forward to ensure tougher sentences for the most serious offenders and increase the confidence of victims,” he said during his speech.
King Charles also paid tribute to his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
“It is mindful of a legacy of service and devotion to this country set by my beloved queen, that I deliver this, the first King’s speech in over 70 years,” he said.
