Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 4 February 2010.
Corruption: Prosecutions
- Question
- My Lords, does the Minister agree that bribery does enormous damage, particularly to many developing countries, and that the Bribery Bill is an essential step in helping to defeat it?
- Answer
-
Of course I agree, and I am grateful to the noble Lord for the part he has played in the Bill so far. As my noble friend mentioned a moment ago, bribery is a fact, but its corroding effect puts developing countries, in particular, back years and years.
