Proceeding contribution from Lord Clinton-Davis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill.
Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill
My Lords, I was a commissioner at the time of the ““Herald of Free Enterprise”” disaster. As I understand it—and I will be corrected if I am wrong—there was no satisfactory inquiry into that episode. Would my noble friend therefore argue that the families of victims of that episode should not be compensated? Is it not right that there should be a criminal prosecution against the people who perpetrated that disaster?
