Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Wirral (Conservative) 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

I am very grateful to the noble Lord for paying tribute to us for giving this matter some thought. He has all the negative arguments out of the way. Could he now share with us the positive work that has been going on within the department to find a solution to this problem, given that the Minister in the other place said that he had sympathy with the efforts to extend jurisdiction? What has been going on in the department? When will the Government come forward with amendments in line with the sympathy and support expressed by the Minister in the other place?
