Part 1: Companies House Reform Registrar’s functions and fees Section 93: Fees: costs that may be taken into account
This section amends section 1063 of the Companies Act 2006, which enables regulations to be used to require fees to be paid to the Registrar.
	Subsection 93(2) inserts subsection (3A). This will expand the functions which the Secretary of State may take into consideration when determining the level of fees to be paid to the Registrar. It will allow the costs of investigation and enforcement activities that contribute to the maintenance of a healthy business environment to be included. Subsection (3A)(a-g) set out the specific functions which may be taken into account.
	Subsection 93(3) amends the wording of subsection (4), so that regulations to determine the level of fee made under subsection (3) continue to be subject to the negative resolution procedure.
	Subsection 93(4) inserts subsections (6A) and (6B). Subsection (6A) enables the Secretary of State to use regulations to amend the reference to the functions carried out by the Insolvency Service on behalf of the Secretary of State, and to amend the reference to the functions carried out by the Insolvency Service in Northern Ireland on behalf of a Northern Ireland department. This will enable continuity should an alternative agency provide these or similar functions in future. Subsection (6B) requires that any such amendment of subsection (6A) must be by means of the affirmative resolution procedure.
