This Order gives effect to proposals of the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board which were submitted to the Secretary of State. The proposals are for the imposition of a levy on employers in the engineering construction industry for the purpose of raising money towards meeting the expenses of the Board. The Order also imposes a levy on employers who are not mainly engaged in engineering construction activities but are engaged in any related or administrative activities of a kind to which paragraph 1(c) of Schedule 1 to the Industrial Training (Engineering Board) Order 1964 (as amended by the Industrial Training (Engineering Construction Board) Order 1991) applies; and for those employers the levy will be imposed only in respect of such related or administrative activities.
