Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many companies the Companies House Breaches Team has investigated for breaches of sections 21, 22 and 23 of the Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (Names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2015 since 31 January 2015.

Companies House received three public complaints surrounding sections 21, 22, and 23 of the Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (Names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2015. Of these complaints two complied when contacted by Companies House and one company was on a dissolution path and so no further action was taken as it would not have been in the public interest as defined in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
