| Message | Mr Speaker, Luthori is not a charity and the people and taxpayers of Luthori cannot be expected to keep other nations afloat! We are not the worlds charity bank and we oppose this move. If the people truly want to help then let them donate on their own. Would Elihayu prefer state mandated charity or charity through the heart? I yield! |

| Message | "We are not surprised that the racist Fascist Party would rather our nation take advantage of those countries that are weaker and less developed than our own. May I ask what the £6,000,000,000 of our foreign affairs budget is being spent on if it isn't being spent primarily on foreign aid?" The Rt Hon. Alec Montgomery MP, Leader, Conservative and Reformist Party |
| Date | 02:06:28, April 12, 2014 CET | From | Luthori Fascist Party | To | Debating the Foreign Aid Bill |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The Foreign Affairs budget is spent on keeping our chanceries and consulates open, ensuring security of them, paying diplomatic personnel, basic administration costs and promoting Luthori diplomatic interests abroad. Our job is to do just that, not pay other nations bills. I yield! |

| Message | "Foreign aid isn't about paying other nations' bills, its about helping them to develop, about feeding starving peoples who would otherwise die without foreign assistance." The Rt Hon. Alec Montgomery MP, Leader, Conservative and Reformist Party |
