Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Wedderburn, for his helpful comments. Will the Minister look briefly at what I regard as the most extraordinary wording in all these papers, which is in the allegedly helpful Explanatory Notes? Paragraph 54 on page 14 refers to Clause 16, which is headed, ““No individual liability””? Paragraph 54 seems to set out to confirm that there is no individual liability, yet arrives in mid stream with a statement to the effect that anybody aiding and abetting may be guilty, and that: "““This is known as secondary liability””." That is a formula for complete confusion.
