Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 18 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill.
Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill
Well, I take the noble Lord's point, but the history of how the DPP has operated has shown that we can have confidence in the DPP. In some senses, we could argue that the amendment undermines that position, because it questions that independence and integrity. I take issue with that quite seriously. We should rely on that independence and integrity and ensure that we express our confidence in the DPP to act independently and entirely properly.
