    PRIME Minister David Cameron's government has confirmed that it will hold a referendum on whether Britain should leave the European Union (EU) in a policy speech read by Queen Elizabeth II on Westminster's grandest day on Wednesday.

    The 89-year-old monarch also set the stage for further budget austerity under Mr Cameron's newly elected centre-right government, but promised measures for "working people", such as more free childcare.
