Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the accuracy of company register information held by Companies House following the changes implemented in March 2024.

The Government recognises that register accuracy must be assessed, and this needs to be through a range of measures. The following have been taken to date:

• Monitoring compliant companies - to show how up to date the register is based on filed confirmation statements.
• Verified identities – tracking the proportion of Director and Persons of Significant Control (PSC) appointments that have been verified since the start of the IDV transition year from 18 November 2025.
• Corrections/ Removals – tracking the number of companies where actions have been taken under ECCTA to correct or remove them from the register

Additional measures are in development to provide further insights.
