In January BIS published a consultation on proposed changes to TUPE regulations. This consultation follows the Government's review of TUPE conducted under the Red Tape Challenge and BIS' Call for Evidence on the Effectiveness of the TUPE Regulations 2006.

- advises that the prescriptive nature of the employee liability obligation is the best way to ensure efficient transfers, and
- advises that it would helpful for the categories of employee liability information to be expanded.
