Part 2 – Limited partnerships etc The register of limited partnerships Section 137: Material not available for public inspection
This section inserts new section 16A into the Limited Partnerships Act 1907. This section states that the Registrar must not disclose or make available certain information for public inspection that is on the register of limited partnerships. This information is listed in the section and includes the limited partnership’s registered email address, a partner or general partner’s date of birth or a partner, a general partner’s or a named contact for a general partner’s managing officer’s residential address information. It also includes information or statements relating to the identity verification of an individual.
	Even if an individual ceases to be a partner or managing officer, the Registrar must continue to keep the specified information unavailable for public inspection, considering the potential risk to individuals if it were to be made public.
	Section 137 also amends section 1083 of the Companies Act 2006 (preservation of original documents) by making reference to the provisions in the Companies Act 2006, the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 and the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022 which relate to the extent of obligation to retain material not available for public inspection.
