	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2015 answer text <p>In March the Financial Secretary to the Treasury and I wrote to the Premier of Bermuda asking him to set out plans and a timetable for the implementation of a central register of company beneficial ownership, or similarly effective system, to meet three criteria, including law enforcement access. Bermuda has had a central registry of company and trust beneficiaries since 1939. It includes all shareholdings above 10% compared to the 25% which is the threshold for the UK’s register. The information is updated in real time and is already shared with law enforcement and tax authorities on request. We remain of the view that a public central register is the best approach to improve company transparency.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 09/11/2015 15:02:20 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
