UK: The Queen's Speech - Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill

The proposed Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill will (amongst other things) provide for the establishment of a public register of company beneficial ownership and make changes to the regime for the disqualification of directors. Consultation on these proposals has already taken place: see here.
