Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill.

Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

May I have one more go at the Minister on this point? In Glasgow tonight there will be 60,000 Spanish football fans. When they travel by the airlines they will be owed a duty of care by the operators. When they go to sleep tonight in their hotel rooms they will be owed a duty of care by the hotel companies. When they go to Hampden Park, they will be owed a duty of care by the Scottish Football Association. If they have a drink too many, fall down and are arrested for their own protection by Strathclyde police, the duty of care will cease. Is that not just an inconsistency too far?
