Read MoreThe minority Conservative government has survived its first major Parliamentary test after its Queen's Speech cleared the House of Commons.
MPs voted in favour of the government's proposed legislation - which was stripped back after the Tories lost their majority - by 323 to 309.
The Democratic Unionist Party's 10 MPs had agreed to support the measures as part of a deal with the Tories.
Labour's attempt to add some of its policies to the Queen's Speech failed.
Nearly 50 MPs defied Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn by backing an amendment calling for Britain to stay in the single market and customs union after Brexit, proposed by pro-Remain MP Chuka Umunna.
It was defeated by 322 votes to 101, majority 221, but despite orders to abstain from Mr Corbyn, who has committed to leaving the single market, some 49 Labour MPs opted to back the amendment, revealing divisions within the party over its Brexit strategy.

Mr Hollobone says the draft sustainability plan for Northamptonshire is "simply not good enough" as it does not put enough funding into facilities allowing people to be treated closer to where they live so that they don't have to come into the hospital.
He says this would be more cost-effective, better for the patients and would take pressure of Kettering General Hospital.

Speaker John Bercow says that MPs not wishing to hear Philip Hollobone "expatiate on the merits of his local hospital" in his adjournment debate should leave the chamber quickly and quietly.
He says that those remaining can enjoy the Kettering MP's "Einsteinian intellect and Demosthenesian eloquence".

Health Minister Lord O'Shaughnessy responds to the day's debate for the government, insisting that contrary to the "gloomy" tone of some peers this afternoon the Queen's Speech is not just a Brexit prospectus but a "commitment to broader social reform".
He says the government wants to create the "safest health service in the world" and it recognises the "pressure public service workers are under".
However, he adds, he can't support Labour's solution, which he describes as "free things for everyone".

Labour spokesman Lord Hunt of Kings Heath focuses his concluding comments on the NHS, saying his party would treat the government's promises on mental health "with a touch of scepticism until we see the money ringfenced and actually spent on mental health".
He then turns to a wider point about staffing the service, pointing to the confusion on Wednesday over reports on changes to public sector pay.
"The government cannot artificially hold down the pay of public sector workers year after year," he warns.

It appears that while the Labour frontbench abstained on Chuka Umunna's amendment several Labour MPs voted with him.
We'll find out who later on - but in the meantime, political journalists will be trying to find out who those rebels were...
