(b)at the time when he so applies the [F9provision, criterion or practice] that person has no reasonable grounds for believing that the Sikh would not wear a turban at all times when on such a site,

(4)A certificate issued by an industrial training board, in connection with any such arrangements as are referred to in subsection (1) above, to the effect that a person was, immediately before the date referred to in that subsection, employed by the board wholly or mainly in connection with the activities to which the arrangements relate shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in the certificate.”

(3)The Secretary of State shall not make any appointment by virtue of sub-paragraph (1)(c) above if to do so would result in the number of persons for the time being appointed by virtue of that provision being equal to, or greater than, the number of persons for the time being appointed by virtue of sub-paragraph (1)(b) above.
(4)References in the following provisions of this Schedule to a chairman include a deputy chairman.”
