    "content": "(FSMO), which is so heavy. If you are 4 feet or less, you cannot be able to carry it to defend this country. We have to be very careful in this House. We should not be so populist in passing Motions which are injurious to national security interests. There are basic requirements in every service. What will stop hon. Kioni or another hon. Member from bringing a Motion to this House urging the Government to do away with the age requirement of 18 to 26 years? Such an hon. Member will ask why the armed forces, which are recruiting young men and women between 18 and 26 years, cannot recruit persons aged between 18 and 46 years, since the youths of this country are not employed. What would stop an hon. Member from bringing a Motion like that? We have to stop populism, so that this country can move forward. We should not control or narrow the requirements for security forces of this country through Motions in this House. Of course, not everything is in the Constitution. What will stop another hon. Member from bringing a Motion to do away with the weight requirement? What will stop another hon. Member to say that it is discriminatory not to recruit a person who weighs 400 pounds?"
