Britain's new government is preparing over 35 bills for the formal start of the parliamentary year on Wednesday and has put economic growth at the heart of its agenda, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office said.
Starmer, who ended 14 years of Conservative rule earlier this month with a sweeping election win for his Labour Party, said his government aimed to deliver stability, boost growth and create wealth across the country.
Legislation will include a bill to enforce tough new spending rules and strengthen the role of the independent Office of Budget Responsibility, meaning significant fiscal announcements will be properly scrutinised, the statement from his office said.
"Our work is urgent. There is no time to waste," said Starmer, who has returned to Britain after attending the NATO summit last week in his first major international meeting as the country's leader.
"We are hitting the ground running by bringing forward the laws we will need to rebuild our country for the long-term – and our ambitious, fully costed agenda is the downpayment on that change."
Within days of taking office as the country's first female finance minister after the election, Rachel Reeves set out plans to increase house building, unblock infrastructure projects and attract private investment.

"People don't really know what happened, they have ideas, they send threats," he told local journalists before turning himself in.
DiDi, China's largest ride-hailing company, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Banuelos' death has reverberated in Mexico, where at least two women are killed in gender-related violence every day, according to official data, though activists say the real figure is much higher.
Of the nearly 2,600 murders of women last year, only 827 were classified as "femicides," or motivated by the victim's gender, the data showed.
