BERR - New Name, New Website

It doesn’t seem any time at all (June 2007 in fact) since most of what used to be called the Department of Trade and Industry merged with the Better Regulation Executive to become the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR). At the same time, the Regional Economic Performance Unit also transferred into BERR, from the Department for Communities & Local Government.

On 5 June, the Government announced that BERR has now merged with the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) to create the new Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), the key role of which will be to build Britain’s capabilities to compete in the global economy.

BIS has a new interim website. However, the former BERR and DIUS websites will continue to operate until a permanent BIS site is ready.
