Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Wirral (Conservative) 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

The Minister has completely reassured me. He has not only given an undertaking; he has given an undertaking with which he will comply swiftly. I do not think that we need to go too heavily into the definition of ““swift””. We all know what it means: it means that we are about to have clarification. I am glad that the noble Lord has admitted that there is a concern here. We need to know about it and deal with it quickly. He said he is going to do that and, in those circumstances, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
