No, not at all. Sending a document to Companies House (or any other statutory body) does not transfer copyright of that document to the recipient. What it may do (and, in the case of documents which CH is obliged to publish, must do) is grant CH a perpetual non-exclusive licence to publish them. But it does not necessarily confer any similar licence on anyone else.
