My Amendment 344 addresses this gap directly and proportionately. It does not seek to criminalise companies for the actions of riders per se or to impose automatic liability; instead, it follows a model that Parliament has already endorsed twice. The Bribery Act 2010 introduced the first modern “failure to prevent” offence. It made companies liable where bribery was committed by an associated person and the company failed to have reasonable prevention measures in place. The Criminal Finances Act 2017 extended the same model to the failure to prevent evasion. My Amendment 344 would simply apply the same well-tested structure to this new and pressing public safety problem.
