Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

I really cannot accept the noble and learned Lord’s point, which would apply equally to Clause 1(3). As I indicated to the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lyell, we are simply deleting subsection (3) and providing a different test. It has nothing to do with the definition of gross negligence; it is to do with the additional requirement that has to apply for corporate manslaughter to apply in a particular situation. I accept that the drafting may not be felicitous, but the noble and learned Lord is not correct about the point that we are making.
