if an employer in the industry of an industrial training board requests the Commission in writing to secure that the activities carried on at a particular establishment of his shall, instead of being included for the purposes of this Act in that industry, be included for those purposes in the industry of another industrial training board, the Commission shall, after consulting both boards in question about the request, submit it to the Secretary of State together with a statement of the boards' views and may also submit its recommendation as to whether he should give effect to that request.

Where the Commission submits such a request to the Secretary of State, he may if he thinks fit make an order giving effect to the request; and the power to make such an order shall be exercisable by statutory instrument.
