Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether he plans to take steps to accelerate the implementation of the protections for public interest companies in the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.
Answered by Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 enables new measures to strengthen the protection of personal information on the Companies House register. These measures are being implemented in phases with some already in force. People can now apply to have more of their personal information "protected" from disclosure on the public Companies House register than was previously possible.
Further measures will be introduced over the coming years, which will require new secondary legislation, guidance and system development. The Government is working to implement the measures as soon as possible.
