Proceeding contribution from Lord Lyell of Markyate (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 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 think that we are getting there; the Minister will probably tell me that he is going to give us a fuller answer when we debate a later amendment. We are still trying to tease out why, if public authorities engage in all the activities that are mentioned in Clause 2(1)(c), they will not be liable where all other bodies will be. That is an important gap; if the Minister would like to answer the point now, it would be delightful, but if he tells me that he will answer it soon, that will be adequate.
