Proceeding contribution from Baroness Whitaker (Labour) 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]
My recollection is that the first Joint Committee on the draft Corruption Bill threw out the authorisation idea, not on the grounds of authorisation per se but because the way it was presented was too broad and included the national economic interest. I do not think there was an explicit rejection of the concept of authorisation for the actions of the security services in the interests of national security.
