<p>As at 30 April 2019, 836 live companies were exempt from the requirements to file
information about their People with Significant Control. This is because they are
subject to other disclosure requirements due to their voting shares being admitted
to trading on a regulated market in the UK or EEA, or on markets listed in Schedule
1 to the Register of People with Significant Control Regulations 2016.</p><p> </p><p>Exemptions
can also be granted in very limited circumstances, in the interests of national security,
the economic wellbeing of the UK, or in the support or prevention or detection of
serious crime. I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on
26 January 2016, <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2016-01-26/HCWS488/"
target="_blank">HCWS488</a>, which set out the circumstances in which such exemptions
would be granted.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p><p> </p>
