Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) 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 am happy to read very carefully and think some more about what the noble Lord said. I am not going to commit to more than that. When we were talking about unincorporated bodies, I made the point that we are thinking about larger bodies rather than smaller ones because that is where there is more potential for a problem, given the volume of activity that they are likely to undertake. We need to think about this carefully. It is not an easy issue to wrestle with.
