- Other Questions: National Monuments (13 Mar 2013)
Sandra McLellan: We are only 34 months away from 2016 and the centenary is fast approaching. In the two years I have been in this House, the issue has been on the agenda every Question Time. Is there any chance of getting a definitive answer on when a decision will be made? Are we looking at weeks, months or years? I am beginning to think that if the Government was real about this it would have made a...

- Finance Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage: Commemorative Events (13 Mar 2013)
