Proceeding contribution from Lord Tunnicliffe (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Bribery Bill [HL].
Bribery Bill [HL]
I cannot say that there is a specific decision on that at the moment, although I think that it is probable. Apparently, by magic means, I am authorised to say yes. Foreign public officials are defined in subsection (5) to include individuals who hold legislative and administrative posts of any kind, whether appointed or elected. That includes individuals who work for international organisations. I hope that that is sufficiently specific and that the noble Lord feels able to withdraw his amendment.
