Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide
Bill — Government amendment
14. We reported on this bill in our 3rd Report
(HL Paper 19) and on Government amendments for Report stage in
our 5th Report (HL Paper 44). We were invited to consider a Government
amendment proposed by the Commons as Amendment No. 10A in HL Bill
72 (disagreed to by this House on 22 May). The amendment provided
for the Secretary of State by order to amend the Act to bring
people in custody or detention within the scope of the Act. The
Ministry of Justice provided a supplementary memorandum on the
amendment, printed at Appendix 2. There is nothing in the amendment
which we wish to draw to the attention of the House and we consider
the matter to be an issue of principle for the opinion of the
House.
