Section 11(1) and Schedule 1 of the Act provide that specified government bodies can be prosecuted for Corporate Manslaughter. The statute provides an exception to the general rule that a crown body cannot be prosecuted for a criminal offence (see section 40 of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947).
Schedule 1 lists the government bodies to which the offence applies. It includes the major departments of central government such as the Department of Health, Department for Education, DEFRA,
Ministry of Defence and the Home Office, as well as the Welsh Government.
Section 16 contains provisions which identify the relevant body to prosecute where functions have been transferred from one public body to another since the date of the offence.
