Proceeding contribution from Baroness Turner of Camden (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 listened with a great deal of interest to the noble Lord. I wonder whether this has a particular relevance in relation to the construction industry. The unions have grumbled for a long time about people working on sites who claim to be self-employed but are not really; they are employed on an employment basis, even though they allege to be self-employed. We have been trying to do something about that for some time, to ensure that such people are covered. Would they be covered by your wording?
