Bribery Bill [HL]

Before my noble and learned friend sits down, I assure him that on the small question of the nomenclature of the Secretary of State, the noble Lord, Lord Tunnicliffe, is a great expert on these matters. We dealt with this twice on the Coroners Bill, which, if I remember rightly, for some odd reason referred to the Secretary of State for Business Innovation. That then had to be amended during the course of the Bill to reflect the new Secretary of State’s further titles that he had acquired as that department had expanded, and no doubt will have to be amended by means of primary legislation at later stages as that job changes yet again. We would have been far better off if we had stuck to the drafting, as in this Bill, of simply "the Secretary of State". But when the Minister comes to reply, I assure my noble and learned friend that he is the expert on these matters.
