IDS Brief have just sent out a bulletin breaking the news of the near-repeal of TUPE 2006 by the House of Lords.

Lord Sainsbury, defending new TUPE on behalf of the DTI, did admit "I do not pretend that the regulations are completely certain in their effect and in their capture." He went on to say, referring to the DTI guidance on redundancy payments when companies are insolvent, that "I concede that it might potentially confuse the reader".
