| Message | What does my colleague from the SDLP mean by "emergency services"? The police and fire services are already public. For what reason does the government need to enter into industry? -Charles Bainbridge, MP |

| Message | If all businesses are controlled by private individuals they will become purely about making money, regardless of any unethical treatment of employees, environment etc. businesses that are designed to provide a service should be controlled by the state in order to preserve some standards. citizens are welcome to make their own money from other business types. |

| Message | But which services? Aside from the health and education sectors, which are nationalised, what other services are so critical that they need to be absorbed by the state? |
