lpv:spoken text	"At a time of austerity, we need to cut the bloated EU budget. As a Member of the European Parliament, I believe that this House should be the first to tighten its belt. The estimate for the cost of the European Parliament for 2013 is EUR 1.8 billion. This is a staggering amount which sticks in the craw of EU citizens, not least my London constituents. We need to make savings in the translation and interpretation services. We must do away with the costly ‘European House of History’ which is a boondoggle, a vanity project and an insult to every EU taxpayer. But the most obvious saving is staring us firmly in the face. We need to scrap the Strasbourg seat. We are wasting nearly half a billion euro each year shuttling backwards and forwards between Brussels and Strasbourg. This travelling circus is making a mockery of the European Parliament and it is time to bring down the curtain on this absurd waste of money."@en1
