This is the parliamentary question time for questions to the Department of Social Affairs. Members of the Commons may question the government on its social policy. Each member is limited to one question per week. This House recognises that there is no appointed minister for social affairs, and so opens the floor to all government ministers. This House recognises Boohistory as the Leader of the Opposition, and as such grants her the right to ask six questions per week. The government may only be asked to answer one question at a time - no new questions may be submitted until the previous one has been answered. If the government does not answer, action may be taken by the speaker of the commons. I therefore open this session with the following question: Will the government please outline to this house its social policy? |

Tobacco and alcohol will be of prime importance in social affairs, as the Birthday Party will try to solve problems of overconsumption of both alcohol and nicotine not by legislation but by advice and additional guidance. Taxation on both of these will be increased in a bid to drive young people towards other activities of more social standing and which are less harmful to them.In the media, the other lynchpin of social affairs, there will be much in the way of freedom. Freeedom of speech, necessary for all civilised countries, will be 'enforced', but the watershed will remain as it is necessary to regulate for the protection of younger children. Product placement will be allowed in programmes, but with an 80/20 split on money, with 20% being payable to the government. Also, the non-mainstream will be promoted, with specialist magazines, programmes, music and films given government funding. |
