The Prevention of Corruption Act 1906 (6 Edw.7 c.34) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (as it was then).

Section 1 made it an offence (formerly classified as a misdemeanour) subject to imprisonment up to 7 years: The 2017-19 prosecutions of Peter Chapman,[4] and of Alstom[5] and its company officers for conspiracy to corrupt in Lithuania may have been the last prosecutions for this offence.

[7] The "principal" is the person the agent is employed by or acting for.

[9] A prosecution in England and Wales for an offence under this Act could not be instituted without the consent of the Attorney-General,[10] who could discontinue an investigation that was working towards a prosecution under the Act.
