The role and purpose of the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) was reviewed in 2011 as part of the wider Public Bodies Review, and it was concluded that the regulation of immigration advice and services was best delivered by retaining the OISC. As part of that process the Home Office carried out a preliminary assessment of options for the OISC and considered the potential savings associated with relocating the OISC outside London. The assessment carried out identified that there were potential savings from relocating, but as a high proportion of the businesses regulated by the OISC are in London and the South East the additional costs created by the move would not make relocation a cost-effective proposal. The additional expenditure incurred by the OISC staff undertaking audits of businesses and carrying out other activities associated with the regulation of immigration advisers would offset any savings made.The lease on the OISC's central London offices expires in September 2013 and a new location for the OISC is being identified because of this. The Home Office is working with the OISC to identify cheaper premises and reduce accommodation costs. The new premises will be in the London area and there are no plans to relocate to a different area of the country.
