The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, for what reason Companies House is using Authorised Corporate Service Providers as an alternative method for HMRC contact.

Answered by Blair McDougall

Authorised Corporate Service Providers (ACSPs) are agents that can verify the identities of their clients and file information with Companies House on their behalf. They are not an alternative method for HMRC contact.
