Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when he plans to publish the results of his Department's consultation on the creation of a new offence of failure to prevent economic crime.

The Call for Evidence on Corporate Criminal Liability for Economic Crime contained a number of different options for reform, including a proposal to extend the failure to prevent offence to wider economic crimes other than bribery or tax evasion. The Government’s response will be issued in 2019.
