| Message | "This government can see the sense in the nationalisation of civil defense shelters, but not of the nationalisation of the defense industry, even on a partial basis. Rather, this ministry suggests keeping the current policy; the free market will create competition for government military contracts." -Lord Kessex-Witcombe, Minister of Defense |
| Date | 00:51:14, March 19, 2007 CET | From | New Age Party | To | Debating the Military |
| Message | So what if no companies decide to pursue this industry. Thus your country is left defenseless. Existing side-by-side would ensure a minimum amount of product R&D is being done. |
| Date | 02:15:02, March 19, 2007 CET | From | Ancient and Noble Order of the Cavaliers | To | Debating the Military |
| Message | "Surely, there are industries and business men that would pursue a handsome government contract. However, I will concede that forming a 'safety cushion' in the form of government owned armories is a good idea. It is likely that my party will support this measure." -Lord Kessex-Witcombe, Minister of Defense |
