    Corruption: Draft Legislation

    Wednesday, 03 September, 2003

    A Joint Committee of both Houses into the Draft Corruption Bill (in 2003-04 session) produced an alternative approach which challenged the description of corruption at the heart of the Draft Bill, and invited 'the Home Office to bring forward a revised Bill'. In view of this recommendation it seems unlikely that new Corruption legislation will be presented in the Government's programme for 2003-04. This Note considers the main issues and criticisms of the Bill raised by the Committee.
