| Message | Rt Hon William Weston MP, Transport Secretary: Mr Speaker, for too long Hutori's transportation system has been effected by limited government resources, and the typical problems that come from government-owned industry and monopoly. In the case of private ownership of cars, we have also seen an unnecessary intrusion from the state into the desires of families. Mr Speaker, this Act will revolutionise transport. |

This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
