The consultation exercise on the proposed Free Trade Agreements with the US, Australia, New Zealand and potential accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, was one of the largest ever undertaken by the UK Government.<\/p>

<\/p>

As part of this extensive programme, the Welsh Government, along with the other devolved administrations (DAs), was invited to formally respond to the consultation. The response that the Welsh Government submitted was explored in detail between the Department for International Trade (DIT) and Welsh Government officials in December and discussions were held on the response during a quadrilateral that I held with DA ministers in January.<\/p>

<\/p>

Prior to publication of the summary of responses to DIT\u2019s consultations last week, the DAs received an advance copy.<\/p>

<\/p>

Alongside these specific discussions, there is extensive ongoing engagement that DIT has with the Welsh Government on trade policy.

Companies House cannot confirm how many incidences of fraudulent use of addresses through Companies House there have been in (a) Wales and (b) the UK in each of the last five years.<\/p>

<\/p>

Companies House registers a number of types of address: companies registered office addresses, the service addresses and usual residential addresses of directors and persons with significant control (although residential addresses are not made publicly available), subscribers and certain shareholders addresses, and single alternative inspection addresses for company registers.<\/p>

<\/p>

If Companies House receives a complaint alleging that address information has been fraudulently filed with it, the law provides certain administrative and court remedies. This covers situations where information is invalid or ineffective, delivered without the authority of the company or factually inaccurate or derived from something factually inaccurate or forged. There is also a provision to allow Companies House to remove an address which has been used as a company\u2019s registered office where she is satisfied that a company is not authorised to use that address.<\/p>

<\/p>

However, Companies House cannot identify which of these are due solely to cases of fraud.<\/p>
