Rishi’s cabinet reshuffle creates four new departments
07 February 2023
This morning, the UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, announced the creation of four new departments. This means the end of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
The new departments and ministers are as follows:
- Department for Energy, Security and Net Zero - Grant Shapps
- Department for Science, Innovation and Technology - Michelle Donelan
- Department for Business and Trade - Kemi Badenoch
- Department for Culture, Media and Sport - Lucy Frazer
We will need to wait and see how this shake up affects the work BEIS does in the payroll space, especially the open consultations regarding holiday entitlement. Although, it seems likely these duties will fall under the Department for Business and Trade.
