lpv:spoken text	". − I, together with my Conservative colleagues, abstained from voting on the Lambert Report. The report amends a 2004 EU Directive on asylum policy. The UK Government has rightly chosen to opt out of the revised Directive, so that it will not apply to the UK. The Directive will make it more difficult for Member States to refuse asylum claims and could lead to further abuse of the asylum system through a broadening of the definition of the family, with respect to family reunions. I have always said that immigration and asylum policy must remain a UK Government competency, and I strongly oppose any move towards a one-size-fits-all EU immigration and asylum policy. I am happy that the UK has opted-out of the revised Directive and therefore I abstained."@en1
