  Through other provisions in this Bill, a disqualified individual is prevented from acting as a general partner of a limited partnership. However, that would only cover individuals who have been disqualified for their actions as directors in a company. We also need to be able to disqualify general partners for their actions within a limited partnership. Currently, that cannot be done because the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 applies only to directors of companies and other limited corporate entities such as building societies and NHS foundation trusts. We would like to ensure…

I believe these amendments are very uncontentious but stand ready to be corrected by noble Lords in this Committee. These amendments clarify certain parts of the Bill concerning disqualified officers in limited partnerships. They ensure that the restrictions introduced by the Bill on disqualified persons in relation to companies, which noble Lords will…

  My Lords, the amendments in this group relate to the new director disqualification sanctions measure introduced in Committee. This measure created a completely new type of sanction in the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 called director disqualification sanctions. It will be unlawful for a designated person subject to this new measure to act as a director of a company. I welcome the support this measure received from this House in Committee. Government Amendments 5 to 11 address some technical drafting concerns raised by Northern Ireland officials. The amendments clarify that the…
