Proceeding contribution from Lord Clinton-Davis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Bribery Bill [HL].


Bribery Bill [HL]

When we come to matters affecting criminal law, precision is vital. In this respect, the amendments that have been put down by the noble Lord, Lord Henley, do not meet the bill at all. Practitioners have to decide so many things, but they can decide only things which are within the law and which are precise. As I have said before, the noble Lord, Lord Henley, is right to withdraw this improper amendment.
