Lord Mountbatten rises to his feet, after listening to Lord Marlborough give rebuttal.
"Lord Marlborough, I am fully aware that pressing civilian fighter pilots into service to defend their home is far from ideal. This entire war is far from ideal, though our sons and daughters have been fighting bravely and winning against the Kusari invader. As for your point about an orderly and organized draft, I may be willing to agree with that when the time comes. I do not believe it has yet come to that, though.
To say that it is ridiculous to have "impromptu drafts" as you call them simply proves that you really have been sleeping through these sessions for the last couple of years. The Defense of the Realm act is not some new idea that I'm proposing. It has been around for some time, and has proven to be a resounding success. What I am calling for is simply an expansion of that success. In no engagement where the Defense of the Realm Act has been invoked has a single civilian pilot fallen to the enemy. I believe that more than proves the Armed Forces will use this expansion carefully and to it's greatest effect.
I believe that all sides have had a chance to make their points. Any further bickering at this juncture would do nothing but aid Bretonia's enemies. I believe the time has come for a vote. What say you, My Lords?"
Lord Mountbatten sits back down in his seat, and waits for the votes of "content" and "not-content" to be tallied.
