For haloes with masses in the interval 10^{11.3} < M_vir/M_sun < 10^{12.7} we find that the galaxy spin parameters are independent of halo mass with <\\lambda'_gal> = (J_gal/M_gal) / (\\sqrt{2} R_vir V_vir) = 0.019^{+0.004}_{-0.003} (1sigma). This is significantly lower than for relaxed LCDM haloes, which have an average spin parameter <\\lambda'_halo> = 0.031.
