Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

My Lords, I strongly support the argument put forward by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mackay. On listening to the noble Lord, Lord Ramsbotham, I was very much struck by the strength of the argument that the principle has already been accepted by the Government. It may be that I am rushing in where angels fear to tread,but what is the difficulty in therefore having these provisions in accordance with the Lords’ amendments to the Bill? I strongly support Motion A1.
