lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of the PNR agreement with the USA, even though I recognise that this agreement is far from perfect. However, we have to recognise that the deal before us today is better by far than not only the previous agreement that was rejected by this Parliament, but the present agreement that is in force. To reject the agreement would leave us with the status quo, which everybody accepts is a poor agreement. Such action would also weaken our oversight on PNR, which surely would be questioned by our constituents, leaving us open to the accusation of dereliction of our duty. Whether we like it or not, PNR is an essential tool in fighting terrorism. I believe this agreement is the best deal we are going to get, which is why I support it."@en1
