Proceeding contribution from Gerry Sutcliffe (Labour) 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

I am grateful to Members for their support. I agree that the amendment will be a significant part of the Bill. In response to my hon. Friend the Member for Hendon (Mr. Dismore), we shall be looking at forms other than newspapers. In the world of corporate social responsibility, where companies use a range of gambits to show that they are being socially responsible, the provision will be a wonderful tool to bring them to book. It will do one of the things we wanted the Bill to do—ensure that prevention is considered in the procedures of corporate bodies. I commend the amendment to the House. Lords amendment agreed to. Lords amendments Nos. 23 to 29 agreed to.
