The noble Lord, Lord Faulks, referred to a theme. I agree and would characterise that theme as what Companies House knows and…20 Apr 2023HANSARDEconomic Crime and Corporate Transparency BillPerhaps the noble Lord, Lord Leigh, can confirm this at the end of the debate, but it is not clear to me whether losing your auditor before you appoint another would be reportable…20 Apr 2023HANSARDEconomic Crime and Corporate Transparency BillI took it as an implicit, or rather an explicit, criticism of His Majesty’s Opposition, us and others who have spoken to amendments to the Bill that we somehow regard the whole…20 Apr 2023HANSARDEconomic Crime and Corporate Transparency BillI think we welcome the tone of the Minister’s comments to some extent. I wonder whether he expects to have completed the intellectual and practical investigation of this in time…20 Apr 2023HANSARDEconomic Crime and Corporate Transparency BillI thank the Minister for introducing his amendments. I broadly support them from these Benches.

This is just to thank the noble Lord, Lord Leigh, from whose knowledge of this area we…18 Apr 2023HANSARDEconomic Crime and Corporate Transparency BillMy Lords, speaking to the Minister before the Committee commenced, I predicted that this group would be crucial, certainly to what we will be discussing in today’s set of…18 Apr 2023HANSARDEconomic Crime and Corporate Transparency BillI do not want the Minister to leave this process with the concept that we are entirely satisfied with his answer on the regulation of ACSPs because of the multiplicity of those…18 Apr 2023HANSARDEconomic Crime and Corporate Transparency BillThe noble Lord just said exactly what I was going to say. If it is not this, what is the process to identify people and what documentation is required? It will be interesting to…18 Apr 2023HANSARDEconomic Crime and Corporate Transparency BillThis has turned into something of a Dutch auction.
