http://www.berr.gov.ukThe Department for Business,
Enterprise & Regulatory Reform (BERR) site contains
archived consultation papers and documentations relating
to the company law reform and most up-to-date
information on the Companies Act 2006.
http://www.companieshouse.gov.ukFor changes in
company filing procedures, the formation of companies
and general guidance, Companies House is the source.
Particularly useful is its quarterly publication, Register. This
gives all latest information on the ever increasing methods
of electronic communication with Companies House
together with articles on recent company law cases.

not undertake government-inspired reviews for change.
This is for BERR (see above). However, the Law
Commission’s website does contain proposals for law
reform and is ideal for those requiring papers and
documents critical of existing law.
