On 16 February the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for
Competitiveness, Alan Johnson, MP announced a Quinquennial Review of Companies
House.
Following Cabinet Office guidance the Review will examine first the
organisational options for the delivery of Companies House functions. Second, if
agency status is confirmed, whether any changes should be made to the way in
which Companies House operates, including its aims and objectives, targets and
financial controls; the scope of the activities undertaken; and whether its
activities could be done more effectively.
In carrying out both stages of the review, the views of customers, staff and
their trade unions, consumers and other interested parties will be fully taken
into account.
The Review Team would welcome comments and contributions from anyone with an
interest in Companies House or its work and has produced a questionnaire
to assist those wishing to comment. Comments should be sent to:
