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 shall obviously read the Minister’s comments with care. My initial reaction is that the Government have not quite got this right. I am not sure that the Minister’s remarks justifying the test set out here deal either with the point of the noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, about delegation, or my point about systemic management failure. I suspect that the noble Lord, Lord James, would say that the test certainly does not meet his point. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
