Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 July 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (Commencement No. 3) Order 2011.


Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (Commencement No. 3) Order 2011

In relation to private provision of prison and transport facilities, what is the relationship between those private facilities and the department? Could the department resist a charge under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act on the basis that the responsibility has been contracted out? My noble friend may not be able to answer straightaway, but I would be grateful if he could clarify that at some stage.
