§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to legislate on the recommendations of the Law Commission, Legislating the Criminal Code: Involuntary Manslaughter. [65187]
§ Mr. BoatengThe Government value greatly the work of the Law Commission. The recommendations on involuntary manslaughter and corporate killing contained in their report no. 237 "Legislating the Criminal Code: Involuntary Manslaughter" raise some difficult and complex issues.
An inter-departmental working group, which includes a member of the Law Commission, is actively considering these issues. Once we have their conclusions we will consider how to take the Law Commission's proposals forward.
