My right hon. Friend is right to argue that all people deserve the protection of the law in this matter, but the Bill makes an exception for unincorporated bodies, such as large partnerships. Will he undertake to look again at the matter in Committee, given that it is already possible—under the Companies Act 1985, for example—for such bodies to be prosecuted? We need to provide equal protection for all employees, regardless of the nature of the organisation that employs them.
