Proceeding contribution from Lord Mackay of Clashfern (Conservative) 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, I must say that I think this is a very good idea. I think I am right in saying that on Second Reading the noble Lord, Lord Thomas of Gresford, said that he had tried out the system of advice that the present business department offers. I think he made a request. He had not received an answer by the time of the Second Reading but I assume he has received it now. If we have a department of that kind in operation already, it seems very good to build on it, as the Hong Kong experience has proved so valuable.
