Labour pushes vote on pay

MPs are to vote on whether the 1% public sector pay cap and cuts to emergency services should end, in what Labour has described as a "test case" on austerity measures. The party has tabled an amendment to the government's Queen's Speech, which also praises the "wonderful work" of the police, fire and ambulance services following the Grenfell Tower fire, saying they "deserve" a rise.   But the Conservatives, who earlier this week reached an agreement with the Democratic Unionist Party to back their programme, are expected to win the vote.  A spokesman said only the Tories would provide a strong enough economy to fund services.   The final vote on the overall Queen's Speech - which outlines the government's plans for the next two years - takes place on Thursday. It effectively amounts to a vote of confidence in Theresa May's administration. She is expected to win, again with DUP support.

Hillsborough charges decision due

The families of the 96 victims of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster will find out later whether any individuals or organisations are to face criminal charges . New inquests last year found the football fans who died following a crush at the stadium in Sheffield had been unlawfully killed. "Hopefully this is the journey to the end, completely, of Hillsborough," said Margaret Aspinall, whose 18-year-old son James died. The Crown Prosecution Service will announce its decision at 11:00 BST.
