The Companies Documentation (Transgender Persons) Bill 2016-17 was introduced in Parliament earlier this week under the Ten Minute Rule procedure by the Rt Hon Nicky Morgan MP and received its first reading: see here. The purpose of the Bill, to quote directly from the Parliament website, is to "... enable transgender persons to apply to the registrar of companies for England and Wales for documentation relating to their change of name to be treated as protected information under the Gender Recognition Act 2004; and for connected purposes". A copy of the Bill is not yet available, but will be published closer to the time of its second reading.
