London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]

I can think of all sorts of reasons, but I do not necessarily want to share them with the House in response to my hon. Friend's intervention. I would not say, as my hon. Friend did, that it would be reasonable to include a manager. A director of a company or organisation has a particular responsibility and although it might be over the top to extend the provision to them, I thought the best thing to do was to try to limit the corporate liability to a director who committed an offence directly.
