To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many (a) RP02a and (b) RP07 forms Companies House has received in each of the last five years.
Answered by Kelly Tolhurst
The table below shows how many (a) RP02A and (b) how many RP07 forms were received in each of the last five years for which figures are available.
Year | RP02 Received | RP07 Received |
2014 | 3,499 | N/A |

2016 | 5,189 | 2,969 |

Figures for RP07 began in April 2016, which is when the relevant legislation was implemented.
