Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

Will the noble Lord review what he has said about secondary liability? He said that secondary liability will always apply and that it might apply to a holding company. I suppose I ought to give him notice that when we come to Clause 16, in which secondary liability is in effect excluded from the Bill, he will encounter considerable resistance from many quarters. He might want to look again at what he said about secondary liability before it goes into Hansard. I do not want him to answer difficult questions at the moment, but the point should be made that the debate inter-relates to Clause 16.
