Cameron lays out plans for first Tory-only government with promise to help working people get on, buy a home, save for the future - and pay less tax

David Cameron today vowed to 'build something special' as the Queen officially announced his One Nation vision for governing the country for the next 12 months.

Laying out plans for tax cuts, home ownership and free childcare, the Prime Minister said he now had the mandate to 'get on and do it', after securing the first Tory majority since 1992.

In Her Majesty's 'most gracious speech to Parliament' this morning,  she said the government 'will legislate in the interests of everyone in the country'.

In an ambitious programme of laws to be passed in the next 12 months, Mr Cameron held out the promise of 'a good education, a decent job, a home of your own and a secure retirement'.

It includes a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union, a fresh crackdown on illegal immigration and new powers for Britain's spies and police to target terrorists, extremists and paedophiles.

But a row erupted after it emerged a Tory promise to scrap the Human Rights Act has been delayed, fearing it could be scuppered by a rebellion by some backbench Conservatives.
