SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF CORPORATE MANSLAUGHTER

Early day motion 633, tabled 18 January 2010 by Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour). Signed by 48 members.

That this House welcomes the new national helpline for the families of victims of murder and manslaughter; notes that families will be referred to this helpline via Victim Support or family liaison officers; further notes that families of victims of corporate manslaughter do not have access to either Victim Support or family liaison officers; expresses its concern that such families may therefore experience difficulties in accessing this helpline; and calls on the Government to look at ways to ensure that such families have access to this service.
