Whereas the Construction Industry Training Board has submitted proposals for the raising and collection of a levy under section 11(1) of the Industrial Training Act 1982(1) (“the 1982 Act”);

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 proposals are made in pursuance of section 11(4)(b) of the 1982 Act and the Secretary of State is satisfied that those proposals fall within section 11(5)(b) of the said Act (“the relevant proposals”) and that they are necessary as mentioned in the said section 11(5), and that the condition mentioned in section 11(6)(a) of the 1982 Act is satisfied in the case of the relevant proposals;

And whereas the Secretary of State considers that the amount which will be payable by virtue of the following Order by certain employers in the construction industry and which he estimates will exceed an amount which he estimates as equal to one per cent. of relevant emoluments, is appropriate in all the circumstances, and the following Order therefore falls within section 11(7)(b) of the 1982 Act;

And whereas a draft of the following Order was laid before Parliament in accordance with section 12(6) of the 1982 Act and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament;

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