9Reference by Secretary of State to the Board

(1)The Secretary of State may, after consultation with the Trades Union Congress and the Confederation of British Industry, direct the Board to take into consideration any work, done or to be done at premises situated in a definable dock area, with a view to the Board making a recommendation (if they think it right to do so)—

(a)in the case of work within Part I of Schedule 4 to this Act and not within Part II of that Schedule, that it should, so far as done at those premises, be classified for the future as dock work ; or

(b)in the case of any work which is for the time being classified, that it should cease to be so.

(2)Having given the Board such a direction, the Secretary of State shall publish notice that he has done so, informing persons interested where they can obtain a copy of the direction, and giving them at least sixty days in which to make representations to the Board.

(3)The Board shall, within such time or extended time as the Secretary of State may allow them, report to him their opinion on the matters they were directed by him to consider.

(4)The Board shall include in their report—

(a)such recommendation (if any) as they think it right to make with regard to classification or de-classification of the work or any part of it and their reasons for making that recommendation ; and

(b)where they determine not to make a recommendation, their reasons why not; and

(c)a record of any representations made to them, and the consultations they have had, on the matters in question.

(5)The Secretary of State shall publish the Board's report, together with a statement—

(a)indicating whether or not he proposes to take any action following the report, and if so what that action is to be; and

(b)where the report recommends the taking of any action and he determines not to take it, or determines to take some different action, his reasons for that determination.

(6)Without prejudice to the above, the Secretary of State may at any time refer to the Board for their advice any question relating to work which has been classified.
