Proceeding contribution from Lord Razzall (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill.


Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

I should like to clarify the Minister’s thinking. I do not want to press him too far on this but am I right to assume that he is saying that the Government accept the point made by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lloyd, that, in the case of most small unincorporated associations, the existing law regarding manslaughter probably provides the protection that people are looking for but that the Government are prepared to look again at the question of larger unincorporated associations, where clearly the point made by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lloyd, would not apply?
