Proceeding contribution from Lord Wedderburn of Charlton (Crossbench) 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
Does it also not follow from what has been said so interestingly by noble and learned Lords about Scottish law that Clause 17 cannot stand in its present state? If the clause applies only to English law, as I understand was the submission, because it refers to manslaughter by gross negligence, then something must be said in the Bill about the common law in Scotland. Either it survives or it does not. That is another problem we will have to come back to on Report.
