Bribery Bill [HL]

I take the noble Lord's point in relation to the word "dishonesty". Although I would not give it much credence myself, I could see that the defendant might seek to say that he was not acting dishonestly. But to say that you are not acting corruptly because you are going into a den of corruption and taking part in it does not seem to carry any weight at all. Although I respect the points that the noble Lord has made, I do not believe they are an answer.
