Following a Government decision which approved in principle the preparation of a general scheme of a Criminal Justice (Corporate Manslaughter) Bill, an inter-departmental working group consulted key stakeholders and prepared a Regulatory Impact Analysis, to assess the cost benefits and impacts associated with such legislation.
