It is often said that the Queen is politically neutral and her role is largely ceremonial. However, the Queen is still involved in many important acts of government. The Queen calls and dissolves Parliament. She normally opens the new session of Parliament with a speech from the throne which is written for her by the Government and outlines her Government’s programme. Before a bill becomes law the Queen must give it her Royal Assent, which is announced to both Houses of Parliament. The Queen can, on advice of Ministers, pardon criminals. She has the power to confer honors (peerages, knighthoods, etc.). The Queen makes appointments to many important state offices, on the advice of the Prime Minister or the relevant Cabinet Minister.
