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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what sanctions have been applied against Limited Liability Partnership designated members that are offshore corporate members and did not supply the details specified in section 18 of the Limited Liability Partnerships (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2009 since the coming into force of those regulations.

No sanctions have been applied to Limited Liability Partnership designated members that are offshore corporate members and did not supply the details specified in section 18 of the Limited Liability Partnerships (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2009 in each of the last three years, the latest period for which information is available. Companies House has not received any public complaints related to this. Were it to do so it would consider what action to take. Companies House's primary aim would be to try to achieve compliance. If the LLP did not comply, the case would be referred to prosecutors and a prosecution would be brought if it were deemed to be in the public interest. In the event of a conviction the Court would impose the appropriate penalty.
