There is a simple solution. R&R is of importance to the nation, the work of government, the dignity of Parliament and the needs of future generations. It must be allowed to go ahead as efficiently as possible. In planning the memorial, the considerations relating to R&R must be sorted out first. They must take priority, and we must be told how this will be achieved. The persistence behind the memorial project is hard to understand. It can now be seen to be adverse to the national interests, in addition to all its other flaws. We must get on with R&R and bring to an end the costly indecision and risks that we face now. I beg to move.
