| Message | Madam Speaker, we could not vote in favour of a situation that would allow councils to keep every individual's DNA on file. It would be a gross infringement of civil liberties. The current situation is just right. |
| Date | 22:02:42, February 25, 2010 CET | From | Hutorian Conservative Party | To | Debating the Local Forensic Archives Act of 2899 |
| Message | Madam Speaker, we cannot vote for this Act because this sort of law cannot vary from council to council. There only needs to be one law for the whole nation! |
