Part 1: Companies House Reform Overseas companies Section 99: Overseas companies: availability of material for public inspection etc
This section amends section 1046 of the Companies Act 2006, which confers a regulation-making power to require overseas companies to register information. The section inserts new subsections (6B) and (6C) which make it clear that the regulations made under that power can provide for the information to be withheld from public inspection and that they can confer a discretion on the Registrar.
