Bribery Bill [HL]

May I test the Minister’s patience? As I understand what he is saying, he is telling the Committee that the company, the employer, may have an expectation that the employee will behave with trust and will not reveal information to the police. I think that is his argument. I suggest to him that no company could reasonably have an expectation that an employee will not disclose to the law enforcement authorities information about a crime. If that is right, there would be no offence here of paying the employee to disclose to the police information about a crime.
