Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

I am tempted to move that the Grand Committee adjourn for the very purposes the noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, suggests. However, I will not. The noble Lords, Lord Hunt and Lord Henley, are worried about the fact that the Commons did not scrutinise this particular aspect. Are they worried that we are about to have a unicameral system? One of the merits of bicameralism is that what is not discussed in the first House can be caught up in the second. I recognise those noble Lords’ desire to beat the noble Lords on the government Bench with this fact, but they are being a little unfair. I would like to ask the noble and learned Lord whether vets are covered in the emergency services. Vets have to attend incidents, particularly road accidents involving deer and people, and no doubt dangerous dogs and all the rest. Does the Bill include vets?
