Bribery Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Bribery Bill [Lords].
I am trying to remember the exact wording, but I seem to recollect that one of the functions of the Security Service and the SIS is to ensure the economic security or well-being of the nation. One can imagine how one interpretation of that could suggest that bribery might be used to secure some economic or commercial advantage. I am sure that that is not the Government's intention, but the issue will have to be addressed in the explanation given as the Bill goes through the House.
