Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of removing the £55 fee for requesting trust information on the Register of Overseas Entities.

In line with Managing Public Money (MPM) principles, Companies House sets its fees on a cost recovery basis. The £55 fee for providing access to trust information on the Register of Overseas Entities recovers the cost of delivering the service.

Companies House regularly reviews the level of its fees.
