Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

I am uncertain whether to support this amendment or not. Paragraph 54 of the Explanatory Notes seems to suggest that the intention of the Government was at some stage not to include secondary liability, yet here we find it excluded. As a matter of general principle, I entirely agree with the noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, that, in the ordinary way, any offence can be committed by the primary offender but also by a secondary. I see no reason why secondary liability should be excluded.
