lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, EU legislation to scrap data roaming charges was widely publicised by the Remain campaign as one of the great reasons to stay in the EU. But, as many of us have learned, EU interference on markets simply pushes up prices for businesses and consumers alike, and this case is no exception. One UK network operator has announced that the priced call internationally will rise by 60% a minute, whilst another has announced that domestic call prices will be increased by 25% a minute. EU interference in this area was at least meant to open up market competition by allowing consumers the choice from across the continent, but compromises to the text now mean that roaming abroad will still have its limits, leaving most citizens tied to purchasing from a domestic network provider. More regulation, less competition and higher prices exemplify all the reasons why Britain will be better off outside the single market."@en1
