BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

At next month's State Opening of Parliament, the Queen's Speech from the Throne will mark the beginning of the last full Session of Parliament for the present Government. For those Members who have decided not to stand at the next General Election the ceremony will have special significance. In five late-night talks this week some of the retiring elder statesmen talk to Robert McKenzie about their years in the Commons and the changes they have seen.
