Regulated Industries Unit

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills how many staff currently employed by Consumer Focus will transfer to the new Regulated Industries Unit, in April 2013; and how many such staff will be subject to TUPE regulations.

[138452]

Answer

Consumer Focus will reform into the Regulated Industries Unit (RIU) in April 2013. Restructuring is likely to take place in 2013-14 ahead of transfer to the Citizens Advice services in 2014.

The final operating model for the RIU is still being developed in conjunction with Citizens Advice and Citizens Advice Scotland. Final staffing numbers are not yet known, but we expect the final transfer to be made on a statutory basis.
