| Date | 03:32:28, March 08, 2006 CET | From |  Socialibertarian Party | To | Debating the Health |
| Message | The Socialibertarian party supports all the proposals in this bill. We would desire that companies be made to label their products' nutrition information, ingredients list, etc. but if that is not supported by other parties this is at least a step in the right direction. |
| Date | 13:07:21, March 08, 2006 CET | From | Solentian Front | To | Debating the Health |
| Message | While the Solentian Front would nominally support maintaining the present National Health Care policy, it feels entirely that this is not merely a workable, but a long overdue bill. |
