UK: The Companies (Disclosure of Address) (Amendment) Regulations 2010

The Companies (Disclosure of Address) (Amendment) Regulations 2010 were laid before Parliament last week and come into force on 1 October 2010: see here (html) or here (pdf). An explanatory memorandum is available (here, pdf) and this explains that the purpose of the Regulations is to allow the Marine Management Organisation to have access to the residential address of directors of registered companies (held by the Companies Registrar) for the purpose of exercising its enforcement functions.
