lpv:spoken text	". I welcome today's rejection of the draft legislation on the patenting of software. I joined this rejection after careful consideration and discussions on its implications with small and medium sized company directors from my constituency, which includes 1,500 technology companies with around 40,000 employees based around the hubs of Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. One small businessman told me that the proposed legislation was akin to patenting tomatoes in a recipe, so that no new recipe could ever be produced again which contained tomatoes. Today's vote is a clear victory for creativity, entrepreneurship and common sense."@en1
