Companies Bill [Lords]

This package of Government amendments follows from the Commons Committee’s consideration of where a company must make its register of directors available for inspection. The Committee agreed both that any increased flexibility as to where the company records are to be kept for inspection should apply to other registers and records and that there need to be safeguards against abuse. The new clauses and amendments meet those concerns. They provide a power for regulations to specify alternatives to a company’s registered office as the place where a company must keep the specified registers and records available for further inspection.
