The Industrial Training Levy (Hotel and Catering) Order 198024thApril 1980
7thMay 1980
18thJune 1980
Whereas proposals made by the Hotel and Catering Industry Training Board for the raising and collection of a levy have been submitted to, and approved by, the Manpower Services Commission under section 7 of the Industrial Training Act 1964(a) ("the 1964 Act") and have thereafter been submitted by the said Commission to the Secretary of State under section 7(1C) of the 1964 Act;
And whereas in pursuance of section 7(1A)(a) of the 1964 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 hotel and catering industry, does not exceed an amount which the Secretary of State estimates is equal to one per cent. of 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 fourteenth base period";
And whereas the Secretary of State is satisfied that proposals published by the said Board in pursuance of section 4A of the 1964 Act provide for exemption certificates relating to the levy in such cases as he considers appropriate;
Now, therefore, the Secretary of State in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 4 of the 1964 Act and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf hereby makes the following Order:—
