The Government is committed to transferring the functions of relevant reserved tribunals to Scotland under the process set out in the Scotland Act 2016 and my officials are working closely with officials from the Scottish Government to develop the detailed plans to do so. Both the Minister for Small Business, Consumer and Corporate Responsibility at BEIS and I have recently corresponded with Ministers in the Scottish Government, on this matter.
