New TUPE regulations delayed

On 27 June 2005, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) announced that, as a result of the large volume of responses to its consultation document, and the many issues that had been raised by respondents (see Draft TUPE Regulations released for the key issues), the new TUPE regulations will not be laid before parliament until autumn 2005. The DTI now plans to bring them into force on 6 April 2006, rather than 1 October 2005, as previously planned.
