However two years after Harry’s dying, the Crown Prosecution Service advised his dad and mom it was dropping the fees.

It stated: “We examined this case in great detail – including obtaining the advice of a forensic collision expert – and it has become clear that there is not enough evidence to demonstrate that this collision could reasonably have been avoided, and therefore that the driving was careless.”

His dad and mom’ native MP, Will Stone, acquired permission from the Commons on Tuesday to introduce the Highway Site visitors (unlicensed drivers) Invoice, that he referred to in his speech within the chamber because the “Harry Parker Bill”.

The invoice would make inflicting dying whereas driving with no licence or insurance coverage a selected felony offence after earlier laws grew to become successfully redundant.

Labour MP Mr Stone made a speech setting out the case for altering the legislation in parliament on Tuesday as a part of a Ten Minute Rule Invoice – a movement to hunt MPs’ permission to introduce a invoice to make the case for a brand new legislation.

“The law in its current form is failing,” he stated. “A person who does not hold a valid license has no business being behind the wheel of a car. And when they do so, they put lives at risk.

“I can not carry again Harry, nor can I give Adam and Kelly the justice that they deserve. No laws, no speech, no courtroom ruling will ever have the ability to ease their ache. What we should do is be certain that no different household has to endure what they’ve been by means of.

“The Harry Parker Bill seeks to close the dangerous gaps in our legal system and impose real world consequences on those who choose to drive without a license. Those who choose to drive without a valid license will be deemed careless.”

MPs voted to progress the invoice to be debated as a part of the following stage of the parliamentary course of.

Harry’s dad and mom, Adam and Kelly Parker, travelled to Westminster to look at the Ten Minute Rule Invoice from the general public gallery.

“It was a bit surreal,” stated Mr Parker. “When he actually read it out I just started crying, I welled up. It made it very, very real, how far we’re actually taking this, and it showed that people are actually really listening. It’s comforting.”

There is no such thing as a present nationwide information on the variety of unlicensed drivers, although previous analysis by the Division for Transport estimated they commit 9.3% – or practically 1 in 10 – of all motoring offences.

In 2006, the Labour authorities launched a brand new offence of inflicting dying whereas driving with no licence or insurance coverage, punishable by as much as two years in jail.

However in 2013 the Supreme Courtroom dominated that, because of the approach the laws was worded, prosecutors nonetheless needed to show the driving was at fault – thus rendering the brand new legislation pretty redundant, as a driver might then be charged by careless or harmful driving.

The judges had been involved about in any other case faultless unlicensed drivers being charged if a drunk pedestrian fell into the highway in entrance of them, or if somebody tried suicide by leaping out into the highway.
