Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill


Charles Walker calls for fines to be used to compensate the losses of families where a loved one has been killed by corporate failing.

Mr. Charles Walker (Broxbourne) (Con): I have not followed the Bill through its various stages. Will the fines be used to compensate the losses of families where a loved one-a husband or wife-has been killed by corporate failing?

Mr. Sutcliffe: Not at this point, but as the hon. Gentleman knows, the Government are working to put victims at the heart of the criminal justice system. We will look at the impact of the Bill on the families of victims, so it is a good point that the hon. Gentleman raises.
