| Message | Mr Speaker, The RLD does not agree with the Minister. We believe that even here the demand and supply mechanism should prevail above state owned companies. Civil servants are just no entrepreneurs and these enterprises will be a burden on the state's budget for ever. Lionel Shephard Spokesman for Defence. |
