Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many companies with addresses in Northern Ireland have been removed from the Companies House register in the last year by the National Economic Crime Centre.
Answered by
Justin Madders
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
The National Economic Crime Centre does not remove companies from the Registers of Companies. This is a function of the Registrars of Companies.
During the most recent period for which published figures are available (April 2024 to March 2025), 10,096 companies were struck off the Register of Companies for Northern Ireland and dissolved. These statistics are available from Table A9 of the Companies Register Activities: Statistical Release April 2024 to March 2025. This can be accessed at the address below:
