| Message | Rt Hon Viscount Townsend MP, Leader of the Oppostion, Mr Speaker, is this seriously going to be the policies of the new HNP? Bills like this are in the people of Hutoris worst interests and would simply drive this nation into the ground. |

| Message | Rt Hon Stephen Myerson MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer Mr Speaker, this proposed legislation would turn Hutori into a third world state. Our economy relies on goods from abroad to function. Without such goods our economy would not be able to specialise and everyone in this country would be poorer. This bill demonstrates that the HNP have no knowledge of economics. |
