lpv:spoken text	"I voted against Parliament’s discharge in the light of many of the press reports that have stemmed from an internal audit report drawn up by Parliament’s services. This report has yet to be published and put out into the public domain. It says that there are some problems with what Members do with their different allowances in this place. I think, as Members, we should all be as open and transparent as we possibly can. The best way to have dealt with the report would have been to put it in the public domain, because then people would have realised that it is not millions of pounds that are at issue, but a very small amount of money – still worth chasing and policing, and giving the Members that abuse the system a great deal of hassle and taking them to the courts over, but not as bad as the general public now think this whole place is. So I voted against, because I think we should publish this report. I hope that Parliament’s services, when advising the President of Parliament on any future reports, go for maximum transparency and publish as much as possible in the future."@en1
