lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, one of the many gifts the British Empire gave to the world was the global abolition of slavery. It has come to my notice, via my constituents in Yorkshire, that the practice continues in Cyprus, the people of which country never cease to lecture us on the foibles of the Turks when it comes to human rights. It is called indentured labour. Philippine and Singhalese female domestic staff are treated appallingly: their passports are basically confiscated by their employers. I have given full details of the matter in a parliamentary question. Indentured labour by any other term is a form of slavery. It exists in the European Union and it is disgraceful. Let us please hear less humbug from the Cypriot representatives and let us see them put their own house in order. Enough of this indentured labour! It is a disgrace!"@en1
