Proceeding contribution from Lord Lloyd of Berwick (Crossbench) 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
My query about this amendment is very similar to that of the noble Lord, Lord Brennan. There must presumably be a time factor built into when the holding company becomes the holding company of the subsidiary company. If the negligence is committed by the subsidiary company and subsequently a holding company acquires that company, I see no reason why the subsequent holding company should be liable.
