Straw to support death at work law Michael White and Kevin Maguire, The Guardian UK
Jack Straw yesterday moved to reassure Labour MPs and trade unions that he actively supports government plans to strengthen the law on corporate manslaughter, but is determined that change must be effective.
The foreign secretary acted after yesterday's Guardian reported him as trying to block the proposed draft bill because of 'serious problems' which might make it better to maintain the status quo, despite concern that culpable corporate negligence has rarely been punished severely.
Yesterday Mr Straw telephoned Tony Dubbins, the TUC's point man on the issue, to assure him that he was 'committed'. The discussion was cordial, officials said.------------------------------------------- posted 5:10 PM :: reference link ::
