Coming into force

Whereas proposals made by the Clothing and Allied Products Industry Training Board for the raising and collection of a levy have been submitted to, and approved by, the Manpower Services Commission under section 11(1) of the Industrial Training Act 1982(1) (“the 1982 Act”) and have thereafter been submitted by the said Commission to the Secretary of State under that sub-section;

And whereas in pursuance of section 11(3) of the 1982 Act the said proposals include provision for the exemption from the levy of employers who, in view of the small number of their employees, ought in the opinion of the Secretary of State to be exempted from it;

And whereas the Secretary of State estimates that the amount which, disregarding any exemptions, will be payable by virtue of this Order by any employer in the clothing and allied products industry, does not exceed an amount which the Secretary of State estimates is equal to one per cent. of the relevant emoluments, being the aggregate of the emoluments and payments intended to be disbursed as emoluments which have been paid or are payable by any such employer to or in respect of persons employed in the industry, in respect of the period specified in the said proposals as relevant, that is to say the period hereafter referred to in this Order as “the eighteenth base period”;

Now, therefore, the Secretary of State in exercise of the powers conferred on him by sections 11(2), 12(3) and 12(4) of the 1982 Act and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf hereby makes the following Order:—
