Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

May I ask my hon. Friend to bring his experience to bear on a matter that strikes me as relevant? I am thinking of cases in which there is a charge of corporate manslaughter against a corporate body and, in respect of the same events, a charge against an individual of ordinary manslaughter—if I can put it that way—through gross negligence, and perhaps offences relating to health and safety legislation? Does he see in the Bill’s provisions any obstacles to all those matters being tried within the same trial, to enhance the administration of justice and save costs?
