UK: Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill 2014-15 introduced in Parliament
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_OoFgZDOaX65rndoX4Rh4lexRDyBX722WpomKG4GRnli3pEEkZCbOjwdqS7oxaOEs1eqITokfLAgf_cZc2668VgsaAebSx5wEGqU5cUfv2YMa7CqqOIu3Dls54LSe7-fwtk3d3bf9EhxY/s610/uk-lgflag.gif)
The Bill contains a wide range of provisions, including those for the establishment of a register of those with significant control over companies. It will also introduce a new general rule that company directors must be natural persons (at present, under section 155 of the Companies Act 2006, companies can act as a director of a company where that company has at least one director that is a natural person). This general rule can, however, be subject to exceptions determined by the Secretary of State.
