Part 1: Companies House Reform Registration of directors, secretaries and persons with significant control Section 52: Protection of date of birth information
This section amends sections 1087, 1087A and 1087B of the Companies Act 2006.
	Section 52 (2) provides that "relevant date of birth information" as defined by new section 1087A(3) is not to be made available for public inspection.
	Section 52 (3) substitutes s1087A (Information about a person's date of birth) and s1087B (Disclosure of DOB information) with new sections 1087A (Protection of date of birth information), 1087B (Protection of date of birth information in old documents) and 1087C (Disclosure of date of birth information).
	Section 1087A is amended because of the removal of a company’s own register of directors and register of People with Significant Control, and the ability to "elect" to hold these registers exclusively on the register kept by the Registrar.
	New section 1087B(1) limits the extent to which the new section 1087A applies in relation to documents delivered to the Registrar before that section comes into force. New section 1087B(2) – (4) details scenarios where new section 1087A does not apply.
	New section 1087C(1) states the scenarios where the Registrar must not disclose relevant date of birth information. New section 1087C(3) states the Registrar may disclose relevant date of birth information to a credit reference agency (as defined by section 243(7)). New section 1087C(4) states section 243(3) - (8) (permitted disclosure of directors’ residential addresses etc. by the Registrar) apply for the purposes of subsection (3).
