Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Wednesday, 2 March 2011.
Bribery Act 2010
- Question
- My Lords, does my noble friend agree that bribery and corruption are hugely damaging to developing countries, not least to those in North Africa and the Middle East, and that that is a very important reason why the Government should not delay any further in bringing this Act into force?
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Government are taking strong action on anti-corruption, including the recovery and freezing of corrupt assets in the areas the noble Lord has referred to, but the message is clear from this House that there is a matter of national reputation involved in any further delay. I duly take note of that.
