Message | Mr Chairman, This bill's provisions are completely intolerable and thus we are forced to vote No. Why shouldn't children be allowed to help out on family farm or other enterprises. Why legalise the sin of prostitution? Why should sexualised and violent adverts be allowed? Or national giants be broken up or forbidden? Gustav Enlund HVP Parliamentary Leader |

Message | Mr Chairman On prostition, we agree that there might be different opinions and we respect that. Child Labour can lead to many evils because that it should be banned. If you don't like an ad than switch the channel or families are incapable of switching the channel. On Monopolies, our economy based on competition so monopolies would only lead inflated prices and this would be malignant to Telamonese families. Kalle Jönnson MF Kansler av Telamon |

Message | Mr. Chairman, we find it absolutely objectionable that the DNV would feel that it's appropriate to legalise such intolerable vices. It is also perplexing that the DNV wants to ban harmless things such as working children - who are not, of course, forced to perform difficult or dangeorus work - while immoral acts are apparently permissible. Aylin Blomgren, Shadow Interior Minister |

Message | Mr Chairman Mrs.Blomgren fails to acknowledge that child labour is dangerous. I hope, Mrs.Blomgren never find out what are the vices of child labour because when she founds out it would be too late for the children that lost their lives or body parts. Kristjan Eenpalu MF Interior Minister |

Message | Mr. Chairman, I think that the number of body parts produced by legal child labour has never risen higher than zero per year. Our economic is regulated to ensure that only safe production methods are allowed - and child labour is especially regulated to prevent children from being subjected to high-strain or dangerous work. They work, for example, on their parents' farms, under parental supervision, in safe jobs. The Hon. lady is simply being ridiculous in her exaggeration. We are a civilised country, and we do not put kids down mine shafts or up chimneys. Archibald Watkins, Shadow Trade Minister |
