PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(8 July 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many companies registered in England and Wales have declared a trustee of a (a) trust and (b) legal arrangement as a person with significant control.

Asked by:
Steff Aquarone (Liberal Democrat)

There are currently 107,382 companies registered in England and Wales who have at least one person of significant control (PSC) currently appointed with a nature of control designating them a trustee of a trust.

Companies House does not have a separate classification to distinguish those PSCs who are trustees of a legal arrangement. Companies House are required to collect information prescribed by law and no stipulation exists in the relevant legislation which creates a separate category which is distinct from trustees of trusts.
