and

Earlier media reports of similar wrongdoing prompted a consultation by the UK's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) on Limited Partnerships in 2017-2018 (see https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/762849/government-response-limited-partnerships.pdf), the final conclusions of which are awaited. 

Both LPs and LLPs also feature in the ongoing BEIS consultation on corporate transparency (see most recently https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/corporate-transparency-and-register-reform-powers-of-the-registrar).
