Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Wirral (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
This is an eminently sensible amendment. I have no hesitation in supporting it. It would require a jury to take into account whether an organisation charged with corporate manslaughter had taken its health and safety responsibilities sufficiently seriously to have appointed someone at board level to oversee them directly. The Bill is as much about prevention as about cure, so this kind of amendment could well be beneficial. I therefore support the words of the noble Lord,Lord Lee.
