Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Bribery Bill [Lords].


Bribery Bill [Lords]

May I put to the Secretary of State a point about this clause that was made in the other place? These services have a function that goes beyond national security: upholding the economic interests of the country. It has been suggested that it is not appropriate for the permission to bribe, or to be bribed, to be used for that purpose, as opposed to the main purpose of national security.
