Health Insurance: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (6 Mar 2013)

Alex White: I do not propose to continue the battles of the past in the House tonight. I am not interested in doing so. While many Members say in their contributions that they want only to speak about the future and that Members on the opposite side want only to speak about the past, one finds that five minutes into their speeches they are speaking about the past, which is ludicrous.
