Seventh Delegated Legislation Committee House of Commons
00:04 - 00:18
Speaker 1
Order, order. The draft Register of Overseas Entities (Protection and Trusts) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Application of Company Law) (Amendment) Regulations 2026. And I call the Minister to move the motion.
00:18 - 01:56
Speaker 2
Thank you, Chair. I beg to move that the Register of Overseas Entities (Protection and Trusts) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Application of Company Law) (Amendment) Regulations 2026, which were laid in draft before this House on 1st of June 2026, be approved. The regulations make targeted technical amendments to strengthen the transparency and operation of the Register of Overseas Entities, which I'll refer to as the ROE from here. They also correct a separate technical issue relating to the Limited Liability Partnerships, which I will refer to as LLPs from here. Members will be aware that the ROE was introduced in 2022 as part of the government's efforts to increase transparency in land ownership and to help combat economic crime.
It is a public register maintained by Companies House, which requires overseas entities that own or acquire land in the United Kingdom to disclose information about their beneficial owners or managing officers. The register plays an important role in shedding light on complex ownership structures and supporting action against illicit activity. The information on the register is being used by law enforcement, journalists, and other third parties examining corruption, money laundering, and assets held by individuals subject to sanctions. Appropriate safeguards are in place through a protection regime. This includes the ability to apply to Companies House to have a home address removed from the register.
As part of the application, individuals are required to provide supporting evidence to confirm that the address on the register is indeed their residential address. However, in most cases, the registrar is able to identify this information internally.
