It will be read by the King in the House of Lords before MPs and peers and include new laws to make it easier to take action against state-backed groups such as the proscription of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
It follows attacks on the Jewish community in London in recent months.
On immigration, legislation is expected on restricting the use of Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights, an element that guarantees the right to respect for private and family life, which some migrants who do not qualify for a visa or asylum rely on.
New laws could be mentioned that would deny appeal rights to more people and establish an independent appeal body to hear claims currently considered by judges.
Leasehold reforms are expected to be in the speech as the Government said it wants to ‘give people more control over how they live in their own homes’.
