These Regulations provide the registrar with a new power to annotate the register maintained under section 1080 of the Companies Act 2006 (c. 46) (“the 2006 Act”), with a view to providing clarity to people who inspect the register. These Regulations also make provision about the removal of material from the register by the registrar using powers contained in section 1094 of the 2006 Act, which was substituted by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (c. 56) and which replaces narrower provisions permitting administrative removal and rectification of the register on application to the registrar. These Regulations also make provision whose purpose is to ensure that it continues to be the case that certain sensitive information about a person with significant control over a company cannot be disclosed to a credit reference agency if the person has obtained protection over that information under Part 7 of the People with Significant Control Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/339, “the 2016 Regulations”).
