The UK Queen Elizabeth II, explained the British parliament the way crisis should be controlled. The Queen handed in 13 projects, which follow to be revised in 2009.

Among her proposals was to create special accounts for low-income families; these accounts are to be insured by the government.
IMPORTANT FOR EMIGRANTS. The Parliament will start limiting the flow of immigrants in UK, and will toughen the conditions for gaining English citizenship

I'm wondering what will be the governments' actions?

Way to go, Queen Elizabeth lol

At least, she knew the right actions should be taken to help U.K. out from the enocomy crisis...

One of the main actions the UK government has taken is the fact it cut VAT from 17.5 to 15%.

Little late to act! they didn't managed to control it! Their economy has already suffered a lot. So the Queen has a little delayed! And by the way think that not the Queen made it! t think she dosen't know more than basic in this area! British economists plan and was presented by the queen!

The cut in VAT is a bit of a joke. It works out as a few pence off the cost of most goods. It did not represent significant savings in the cost of living, and did not encourage people to change their spending habits.

I wasn't aware that the Queen had presented these projects - she doesn't tend to get publicly involved in politics, because it would be disastrous for her to become associated with a doomed policy or unpopular government. I can't find any references in the British press about these projects However, the Queen was puzzled by why leading economists did not forsee the economic crisis, and a group of them apologised to her

I read about it in this forum. It is a topic with this event. It happens.People May wrong!

At least in this way she showed that takes care of its people and is worried about the fate of the country. It would have been better if she would not be talking and would not have be done nothing?
