The 10 bills Labour has ready to go if Miliband becomes Prime Minister

There are only five days left until election day, and the outcome is far from certain. But Ed Miliband has revealed to the Guardian what the 10 bills are that he has ready to go if he become Prime Minister – and which would make up his first (crucial, in terms of commanding the confidence of the house) Queen’s Speech. Most of them will be familiar to LabourList readers – they’re a combination of key election pledges and Miliband’s “greatest hits” – here they are:

Strong economic foundation bill

The main aim of this is to fulfil Labour’s pledge to the deficit down. But it would also be used to implement a mansion tax and a tobacco levy to fund the party’s “time to care fund”, as well as one of Ed Balls key demands – getting the OBR to audit all party manifestos in future.

Energy freeze bill

Does what it says on the tin – freezes energy prices so that they can fall but not rise, until 2017 – as well as giving the energy regulator the power to cut prices.

Make work pay bill

This would crack down on zero hours contracts and make it illegal to use agency workers to undercut the wages of other employees. It would instruct the low pay commission to ensure the Minimum Wage reaches at least £8 an hour by 2019 – and introduce “make work pay contracts” to give a tax rebate to employers who become living-wage employers in the first year of the new government.

Stronger families bill

Free childcare for all working parents of 3 and 4 year olds (up to 25 hours a week) and “wrap-around” childcare from 8am-6pm for all primary school children.

NHS time to care bill

Repeal the market framework in the NHS (essentially scrapping the Tory Health and Social Care Bill) and guaranteeing GP appointments within 48 hours.

Immigration and exploitation bill

Make it illegal for employers to undercut wages by exploiting immigrant workers, ban recruitment agencies from hiring only from overseas – and force large firms to hire a UK apprentice for every worker from outside the EU they hire.

Tuition fees reduction bill

Cut tuition fees to £6,000 whilst boosting the student maintenance grant by £400.

21st-century technical education bill

Compulsory work experience for teenagers, revamping careers advice for all young people – and a vocational route from school to university. That means a technical baccalaureate for 16- to 19-year-olds, a guaranteed (and good) apprenticeships for all school-leavers that get the grades and new technical degrees at university. This is the Miliband strategy for the “forgotten 50%” of young people who don’t currently go to university.

Anti-tax avoidance finance bill

Abolish non-doms, crack down on both personal and corporate tax avoidance and scrap the Tory “shares for rights” scheme.

More homes and fair rents bill

This is the bill that seeks to make Miliband’s plan for a million new homes over the next parliament real – as well as tackling unfair rents and practices in the private rented sector. It would give councils new “use it or lose it” powers to stop developers “land-banking”, as well as allowing local development corporations to build homes at scale where the private sector has failed to. The legislation would also allow for garden cities and suburbs – creating more than half a million new homes – as well as cracking down on letting agents’ fees and capping rent rises.

This is a serious programme for government, that would deliver meaningful change to the country (both in the short term and over the long term) – and there’s a great deal here that other parties may find appealing too.
