The Registration of Overseas Entities Bill would create a public register of overseas entities and their beneficial owners, and would require overseas entities that own land in the UK to register certain information. The goal is to improve transparency about who ultimately controls land in the UK and to make it harder to hide ownership behind foreign entities.
The bill is at the second reading in the Commons, where MPs debate its general principles. It has not yet progressed to later stages or to the Lords.
