Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

Before the noble Lord who moved the amendment winds up the debate, I ask the Minister whether, in referring to a director, he means a main board director if it is a listed company, particularly given that many boards are moving towards having fewer executive directors on the main board. Secondly, does the Minister really mean a ““dedicated”” health and safety director, or does he mean a nominated health and safety director? The word ““dedicated”” suggests to me that that would be a director’s sole task. It might be unrealistic to expect many large plcs to have a director serving on the main board who deals with nothing but health and safety. These are merely questions for clarification.
