UK enacts Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007


There has been new piece of legislation enacted recently in the United Kingdom. It's called the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007. Very interesting concept.

There is also an organization called the: Centre for Corporate Accountability. (Promoting worker and public safety.)

    This sounds very similar to the Westray Mine Bill:

    Larry, this is really good news. Are you going to be commenting on the lumping in of Labour with other portfolios in the new Wall cabinet? I wish to link to your comments when you do.

    John,

    Once I have the details regarding the structure of the portfolio containing labour I will be commenting. Either via an official news release, or a posting on this blog, or both.
