And she did not mention the planned state visit of President Donald Trump, but did say the government is looking forward to a planned state visit by the Spanish royal couple set for July.
LONDON, June 20 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May promised on Wednesday to listen more closely to businesses' concerns about Britain leaving the European Union as she set out a Brexit-focused government programme, pared-back to reflect her weakened authority.
"My ministers are committed to working with parliament, the devolved administrations, business and others to build the widest possible consensus on the country's future outside the European Union".
The queen will read a speech written by the prime minister and her staff.
Conservative sources said talks with the DUP were "ongoing" after the Northern Irish party warned its support can not be "taken for granted".

Chastened by an election which left her Conservative Party short of a majority in parliament and reopened debate on the nature of Britain's European Union exit, May also dropped firm pledges on social care, education and corporate governance.
Following today's Queen's speech, however, from which Trump's visit was conspicuously absent, it would appear that the state visit is not likely to go ahead, at least during this parliament - will last two years rather than one, a rare change to allow for Brexit negotiations to take place.
