Proceeding contribution from Lord Lyell of Markyate (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 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 ask the Minister to think very carefully about the word ““attitude””. My noble friend Lord Henley has a point when he says that it might be more prejudicial than probative, which is something that courts are extremely careful to consider. I ask the Minister to reflect very carefully on this. I am rather cautious about the addition of the word ““motive””. Again, I will be interested to hear what the Minister thinks on reflection.
