Q1 Chair: Good afternoon, Prime Minister. Thank you very much for coming to give evidence to the first of the Liaison Committee’s public meetings in this Session. First of all, I want to establish that you are going to continue the practice of the last Parliament and appear three times a Session. Mr Cameron: Yes, if we all agree. I thought last time it worked quite well to have three sessions: one in this bit, one between Easter and summer, and one later in the year. This idea of picking some subjects, to be determined by you, rather than going across the piece—I am happy either way, but I think it worked okay. Q2 Chair: We have a problem for this Session, because we have a bit of a backlog. We tried to get you before Christmas but that was not possible, so we would be very grateful if you could make two more appearances this Session. Mr Cameron: Yes, that sounds right—one between Easter and summer recess, and one— Q3 Chair: I think it will be two before the summer.

Poonam Puri Andrew Nichol Abstract: The role of corporate and securities laws in addressing foreign corrupt business practices has, to date, received limited consideration. Departing from the substantial literature on the criminal and public law response to international corruption, the authors analyze Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act in comparison with British and American legislation and conclude that the Canadian regime relies too heavily on the use of criminal sanctions and fails to contemplate the role of behaviour modification in its legislative structure.

Watch the meeting Members present: Dr Sarah Wollaston (Chair); Hilary Benn; Chris Bryant; Sir William Cash; Yvette Cooper; Mary Creagh; Lilian Greenwood; Sir Bernard Jenkin; Norman Lamb; Dr Julian Lewis; Angus Brendan MacNeil; Dr Andrew Murrison; Neil Parish; Tom Tugendhat. Questions 1-133 Witnesses I: Rt Hon Theresa May, Prime Minister. Written evidence from witnesses: – [Add names of witnesses and hyperlink to submissions] Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Rt Hon Theresa May, Prime Minister. Chair: Good afternoon, and thank you for coming. For those following from outside the room, we will cover Brexit to start with for the first hour, and then we will move on to the subjects of air quality, defence expenditure, the restoration and renewal programme here and, if we have time, health and social care. We will start the session with Hilary Benn, the Exiting the European Union Committee Chair. Q1 Hilary Benn: Good afternoon, Prime Minister. Given the events of the last two weeks, wouldn’t it strengthen your hand in the negotiations if you put the White Paper to a vote in the House of Commons? The Prime Minister: What is important is that we have set out the Government’s position and got through particularly important legislation in the House of Commons. Getting the European Union (Withdrawal) Act on the statute book was a very important step in the process of withdrawing from the European Union. We have published the White Paper, and we have begun discussing it at the EU level.
