Damian Green on Conservative Party pledges

Nick Robinson talks with the first secretary of state about the Queen鈥檚 Speech

Theresa May has pledged to work with "humility and resolve" as the government outlines its legislative programme in today's Queen's Speech.

The Conservatives are still trying to agree terms with the DUP to secure their support for Theresa May鈥檚 minority government.

It means some manifesto pledges are likely to be scaled back or scrapped.

Sources from the DUP have warned that the party cannot be "taken for granted", although it is expected to back the Queen's Speech when MPs vote on it next week.

Nick Robinson talks with the First Secretary of State Damian Green who insists the Conservative Party did not cut police budgets.
