The principal additions and modifications are:—

(a)provision is made for additional employments (including Continental Shelf employments) to be treated as employed earners' employments (regulation 2 and Schedule 1 Part I) and for certain employments not to be so treated (regulation 3 and Schedule 1 Part II);

(b)provision is also made for certain mariners' and airmen's employments to be treated as employed earners' employments (regulations 4 and 6 and Schedule 2 Parts I and III) and for certain mariners' and airmen's employments not to be so treated (regulations 5 and 7 and Schedule 2 Parts II and IV);

(c)the regulations also prescribe the persons to be treated as employers of employed earners in respect of certain specified employments.

In so far as these Regulations are made under the power conferred by section 129 of the said Act they only replace provisions of previous regulations with new provisions to the same effect, and therefore, by virtue of section 167(2)(c) of the Act are made without being laid before Parliament in draft under section 167(1) of the Act.
