Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (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 thank the noble Lord for that response. I am not sure that we can take the matter much further. He took us very carefully through most of Clause 8, although he did not underline the fact that subsection (4) states: "““This section does not prevent the jury from having regard to any other matters they consider relevant””." I suspect that whether we put in or take out ““attitudes”” and whether we leave in or take out ““motives”” makes very little difference. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 78A not moved.]
