§ Mr. McAllionTo ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list all those services or functions contracted out in his Department and agencies, since November 1991, in which the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 were not applied.
§ Mr. BoswellWhether or not the TUPE regulations apply in any particular case depends on the nature of the work awarded and the contractors' own proposals for carrying it out. TUPE regulations did not apply to either of the Departmental functions contracted out since November 1991—the publications dispatch service and the pilot study of professional scrutiny and control of school building projects.
