Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Bribery Bill [HL].
Bribery Bill [HL]
What is "business"? Let us suppose, for example, that an Army officer wants to obtain something for his forces—food or whatever—and he goes to the head man of the village and gives him a bribe in order to obtain that particular item. That is business but he has no defence. He would have a defence if he was talking to a shopkeeper but not if he is talking to the head man of the village. It is an absolute nonsense and that is why I support the amendment.
