Kate Dearden
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
We launched a call for evidence on Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (TUPE) on 8th April to gather input from all interested parties. We committed to reviewing the regulations to consider how to simplify and clarify the transfer process for businesses, while still providing the appropriate protections to employees who are affected by the transfers. We value the feedback from our stakeholders and aim to make changes where they will have a positive impact for employees and businesses alike.
