Register of Overseas Entities (Protection and Trusts) (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

A discussion that we have had before to which the Minister has not been party is the change in the nature of the work that Companies House is required to do. It has gone from being a filing cabinet to being an accreditation agency at least, and an investigation agency perhaps more so. Coming new into this role, is the Minister and are the Government satisfied that Companies House has the ability to make those decisions? In the past it has not been asked to make them, so it really is a massive change.
