| Message | Mr Speaker, what is the point of this act? The government is the sole purchaser of defence product— surely, they get to set the price as is. |

| Message | Yes but corporations have often sold the same weaponry to foreign nations in the past. Our arsenal of weaponry must be unique in every sense. This is a progressive step towards complete nationalisation. |

| Message | Madame Speaker, the Ultras seem to be confused – weapons and weapon patents can only be sold in foreign states with the express permission of this chamber. There is no reason for a change in this law. |
