lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I voted today to reject restrictions on embryo stem cell research. I am very pleased that the House has decided likewise. Unlike the previous speaker, I believe we should congratulate those organisations such as the Parkinson's Disease Society, the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Society and other organisations who worked hard to bring to Members' attention the real benefits that people suffering from those conditions have gained from stem cell research and hope to gain in the future. This topic keeps coming up in this House and many Members are trying to use the European Parliament to fight a different battle – a battle about banning embryo research and a battle about abortion. I hope that today's vote means they will leave that aside and recognise that this is a proper matter for national competence in the first place, and that it is quite proper that we should use European funding to finance research which can help tackle very serious conditions."@en1
