Proceeding contribution from Lord Hoyle (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 have not spoken before and I hate to come in when the lawyers are having such fun and telling stories that could perhaps be told at other times. However, I bow to their knowledge. I want to back up what my noble friend Lady Turner said. We are concerned about the consequences in relation to the person who has died. We are also concerned not to hinder the carriage of justice. It has been explained to me that this would be the normal and standard way of doing it. I am listening very carefully to what has been said, and I want us to bear in mind that we are dealing with people who unfortunately have lost their life.
