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]
With the greatest respect to the noble and learned Lord, the amendment would not preserve Clause 13, which is a defence to an offence of bribery. The offence is committed but there is a defence to it if Clause 13 is satisfied. What the noble Lord, Lord Thomas of Gresford, suggests is that there be an exemption altogether to the offences of bribery set out in the Bill, so no offence would have been committed at all.
