Proceeding contribution from Lord Tunnicliffe (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 7 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Bribery Bill [HL].


Bribery Bill [HL]

My Lords, my understanding is that the Bill does not at any point define undue hospitality, but the very fact that I have read into the record the evidence from Professor Horder and the Law Commission about how that should be considered meets the idea without using the word "undue". The essence of it is to influence the official, and the issue is about whether it is allowed in local or written law. I do not think that I can go further today on corporate hospitality. We will see if we can come back with more detail at a later stage.
