My Lords, I will go back and look at the standard of proof that is required. My concern was that an LME order is a step along the
way—a part of a process that seems to require, as an appropriate standard of proof, to be beyond reasonable doubt.
With regard to “an officer” including a manager, my concern is whether the term “manager” is understood in the same way by everyone. We know what a director is—it is defined in legislation, you sign up to it and so on—but there could be doubt as to whether an individual was actually a manager or not, and that is where my anxiety lies. I appreciate that the Minister is not in a position to make any further comment today but perhaps it is something that we can look at. This is not intended as an opposition political point; it is a real concern about how the legislation will work.
