Companies: Registration
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many companies registered in England and Wales have declared a trustee of a (a) trust and (b) legal arrangement as a person with significant control.
Answered by Blair McDougall
There are currently 107,382 companies registered in England and Wales who have at least one person of significant control (PSC) currently appointed with a nature of control designating them a trustee of a trust.
Companies House does not have a separate classification to distinguish those PSCs who are trustees of a legal arrangement. Companies House are required to collect information prescribed by law and no stipulation exists in the relevant legislation which creates a separate category which is distinct from trustees of trusts.
