lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to speak in support of the contention made by my colleague, Mr Campbell Bannerman. In 2006, the Swiss Federal Government commissioned a report on all aspects of existing and possible relationships with the European Union. They concluded that full membership of the EU would cost them up to six times their current bilateral arrangements. The Swiss being the Swiss decided that they were better off by not joining or achieving full EU membership. If that is true for the Swiss, it is certainly true for the British, and, if only our Government had as sensible and pragmatic a view of Britain’s economy as the Swiss have of Switzerland’s, then we would leave, just as the Swiss would not join."@en1
