Schedules Schedule 3 – Disclosure of information: consequential amendments
This schedule makes amendments to the Companies Act 2006, adding a subsection at section 242 to enable the Registrar to disclose usual residential addresses using the new disclosure power created at section 1110E. Consequently, section 243 and section 1087B are also amended so that they cater for disclosures made by the Registrar to credit reference agencies only.
	It also makes amendments to the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022 ("the ECTE Act"). Paragraph 5 omits the words "or the registrar" from section 40 (sharing of information by HMRC) of the ECTE Act, so that HMRC can only share information with the Secretary of State. Paragraph 6 amends section 44 of the ECTE Act to provide that references to delivering a document are to be read in accordance with section 1114(1)(b) of the Companies Act 2006. This means that references to delivering a document include forwarding, lodging, registering, sending, producing or submitting it or (in the case of a notice) giving it.
