Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill

Does the Minister agree that if the message from this Bill were to be that every organisation must appoint one of its directors or senior personnel as a dedicated health and safety director, and every organisation in fact were to follow that lead, it really would be a tremendous achievement? I do not know whether the Government have some other plan for making sure that this advice is followed. It is sadly the case that not many organisations have appointed one of their directors as a dedicated health and safety director. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Lee, that if that were to happen, it would send a very clear signal. Can the Minister not acquire a better form of Morse or semaphore and send out the very clear signal that the whole Committee would like him to send?
