• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, I did not anticipate that this question about the death certificate will arise. But if given time, we will produce it, including the first medical test before the training. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I have answered the Question very satisfactorily and, therefore, I do not see the reason why we should defer this Question. As regards the question of payment, I am prepared to give this information to the hon. Member even by tomorrow, if possible. view
