LONDON, Oct. 14-- British Queen Elizabeth II opened a new session of the British parliament Monday in a ceremony packed with pomp and ceremony. The traditional Queen's Speech by the monarch, outlining the Conservative government's proposals, came under attack from opposition politicians who described it as an election manifesto. The Queen opened her speech by saying the government's priority has always been to secure the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union on Oct. 31. The Queen said the government wants a new partnership with the European Union, based on free trade and friendly cooperation. |
