answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2024 answer text <p>Companies House is working increasingly closely with law enforcement to understand filing patterns. While I cannot comment on the detail of that, I am confident it will, over time, significantly improve the ability to identify and combat attempts systematically to abuse the company register.</p><p>Where Chinese nationals, or others, have registered companies using addresses which they have no authority to use, the Registrar has a suite of powers - recently strengthened by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 - which allow the misappropriated address to be replaced with a default address. Where companies persistently fail to provide an appropriate address, the Registrar has the power to strike them off the register altogether.</p> answering member printed Lord Johnson of Lainston question first answered 14/05/2024 14:40:57 answering member 4949 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Lainston
