It isn't now is it? I work at small UK Ltd company. I know roughly who our owners are. But it isn't public information beyond what we choose to publish.
Edit: I checked companies house. No information on ownership at all. Only 2 directors are named. One is the CEO, the other is our accounting firm (the firm, not an individual there).
Either people are very misinformed, or "it's public" means "it's only public if you want to make it public"...
