Renewal of reservations contained in a letter from the Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom, dated 10 September 2007, registered at the Secretariat General on 11 September 2007 - Or. Engl.
In accordance with Article 38, paragraph 2, of the Convention, the Government of the United Kingdom declares that it intends to uphold, wholly, the reservations made in accordance with Article 37 of the Convention. These reservations concern Articles 7, 12 and 17 of the Convention.
With regards to Article 7, the existing provision in the law of the United Kingdom (section 1 of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906), whilst capturing most of the conduct referred to in Article 7, does not explicitly refer to the circumstance in which a bribe is not given directly to the individual who is being induced to act in a particular way but to a third party. It was previously explained that the Government was seeking, in the context of a wider reform, to amend this aspect of the law in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to ensure explicit coverage through a draft Corruption Bill published in 2003. However, in light of Parliamentary criticism that Bill was not formally introduced to Parliament and in December 2005 the Government issued a further consultation paper with the aim of establishing a consensus on an appropriate formulation. The consultation closed in March 2006 and the summary of responses was published in March this year. In light of this consultation the Government has asked the Law Commission to undertake, as a priority, a further fundamental review and to prepare a draft Bill. We intend that this new Bill will, along with a wider reform, amend this aspect of the law. Separate consideration is also being given to this issue in Scotland. Therefore, for the time being, the United Kingdom wishes to maintain its reservation to Article 7 which was made in accordance with Article 37, paragraph 1.
