The Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”) will create a single company law regime applying to the whole of the UK. One effect of the new UK-wide regime will be that the Companies Registry in Northern Ireland, which is currently part of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment in Northern Ireland (DETI), will become the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform with effect from 1 October 2009.
The Government proposes to create a UK-wide Register of Companies through the integration of the Northern Ireland Registry with Companies House. This would involve amending the Companies House Trading Fund Order to reflect the change.
