lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I rather object to the efforts made earlier by the Spanish left to make political capital out of Gibraltar on the back of the tragedy of the Kursk. HMS Tireless is safe in British territory and the repairs will be carried out to the highest safety standards. On the subject of Sierra Leone, I further object to the statement by the previous speaker, but there is a wider point that I would like to make concerning the British Government's role. We warned the British Labour Government months ago about the dangers of an open-ended commitment of British troops to Sierra Leone. Our troops should have been given a clear and finite mission with a realistic exit strategy from the start. The present unacceptable situation is a clear consequence of mission creep and political indecision and provides a clear lesson for the future."@en1
