Question
to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when he expects his Department to (a) conclude considerations and (b) establish a beneficial ownership register of overseas individuals and entities which own UK property.
Answered by Paul Scully
