Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Bribery Bill [HL].


Bribery Bill [HL]

What we are taking about in this Bill is a defence of bribery that could be tried only in United Kingdom courts. It could be as a result of activities by an accused overseas, but anyone charged, as I understand it, would be tried in our courts under our rules with that same fairness for which our rules allow.
