Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether TUPE regulations may be applied in circumstances where businesses are transferring jobs to outside the UK.

The Government is committed to ensuring employees are appropriately protected when businesses change ownership or services transfer between employers through the TUPE regulations. The application of these protections depends on the circumstances of the individual transfer, including the relevant territorial requirements.
